EDS machine use/"imprinted" herbs

Hi All!! I was referred to a naturopath who uses a EDS machine(?) to diagnosis and "imprinted" herbs to help you resolve your health issues. Anyone else ever use or have knowledge of this type of treatment?? Thanks all.

I will let you know how this works out.... I am a worry wart always about side effects, interactions, ect... but since traditional medicine has not helped me other than give me "pills" to cover up the problem I am willing to seek other options. And it was my PCP who suggested I try naturopathic medicine. He feels there is something there but cannot figure out what or why.
Wish me luck!! I will send you all this practiioners name/address if he helps me.. he claims to have helped lots of people in his 47 years of practice ( yes he is old). And his google page has many devoted patitents/fans too,. I personally spoke to one regarding their improvement. Here we go...... hanging on for another ride with hopefully a happy ending.

I don't know, this "charging" sounds pretty bogus, but who am I to say?  5 drops of ashwagandha is also a tiny amount; the usual amount recommend by an herbalist would be 30-40 drops three times a day, but again, who knows?  And muscle testing has failed every blinded test it's ever gone through -- if you stick the tester behind a curtain, he's always wrong.  But again, I've been muscle tested, and it seems to work, so who knows?  I saw a network chiropractor for a while, he was pretty weird in a very nice way, and used all kinds of strange stuff, and he didn't cure me, but I liked him and would have continued seeing him if he hadn't moved away.  I just figure, in the end, we all know what ashwagandha and detox herbs are for, and that's what you end up with.  All that other stuff is questionable, but I don't think it hurts us any.  And so much is unknown and perhaps unknowable.  So good luck, it'll be fun whatever happens.

Thanks for the input. This naturopath results were very much similar to muscle testing results. His machine is older ( so is he) and he puts the herb on  a pad to "charge" it electrically. He says this increases the strength greatly. You must then keep this little bottle of liquid herb away from anything electrical or it will lose its strength.
I was given liquid ashwaganda- take 5 drops in am/pm, along with some detoxing herbs, and support vitamins/herbs.
   His reasoning is natuopaths who use muscle testing are doing the same thing he is.. but his words- He drives a jet, they drive a model t Ford- meaning he gets results faster.
I am into his protocol about 9 days now... I am feeling better, still some detoxing....

I have no idea what "imprinted herbs" are.  The machine just tests electrical activity at your acupuncture meridians, which in traditional Chinese medicine would also tell the practitioner which organs are weak.  They would then use traditional Chinese formulas to attempt to clean out and strengthen these organs and get the chi flowing properly again.  Now, this has to be taken on faith, since nobody can see chi or meridians, but it has been used for centuries and with some success.  But as to the machine, who knows?  This is traditionally done by a trained acupuncturist locating meridians and doing it be feel and by checking pulses.  I have no idea if this machine does that successfully, though I did have a chiropractor who used a similar machine but used it to determine whether both sides of the spinal chord seemed to be at equal strength, not to figure out which herbs to give me.  The truth is, naturopaths use all kinds of weird machines, and whether they do anything at all is dubious.  But again, who knows?  The fact is, when all the playing around is over and they start recommending herbs, they're still going to recommend the herbs that are used to treat what you told them was ailing you.  And they're going to find that information in texts.  They may get there in all kinds of bizarre ways, but they usually end up in the same place.
