How to figure out if your home / office indoor air is harmful for you:
- In the case you suspect that your home or work place has an indoor air problem, we can offer indoor air water toxicity assays, which are the revolution to the evaluation of sick buildings! This innovation is patented globally, and is a Finnish innovation, and has only recently become available internationally. I, and colleagues of mine, have published international, pear reviewed scientific articles of this method and studies of sick-building syndrome (9 articles till Feb. 2023). This method is the most potent in finding both mycotoxins and harmful chemical compounds from indoor air without the need to open structures of the building.
- Note that if our test result is positive, it does not tell, what is the source. It may be either microbiological, or cleaning or building-derived. But neither does any other method tell you that. For instance tVOC results are only from those compounds that can become gas phase at room temperature, which are compounds that are roughly 86-226 g/mol in their molecular weight. Or that settled dust, when put into cultivation for 7 days is a method, in which the cultivation plates restrict the growth, and besides when the ”nice microbes” grow quickly, and the so called indicator moulds, ”bad microbes” grow slowly, the end result is that the number of the nice ones are calculated to thousand cfu, and often the ”bad microbes” are even 1-2 cfu. This result is bias, and it does not tell anything about the toxicity.
- In addition, we have a significantly better sustainable alternative: there is often no need to demolish the building and build a new one! Contact me to hear what can be done for the building!

At the moment the indoor air water sampling can be done in Finland, if you need that from some other country, you will need to be in contact with me.
We have plenty of therapeutic services for those who suffer from bad indoor air, or sick-building syndrome (more severe case is called Dampness and mold hypersensitivity syndrome, DMHS):
- Laboratory assays, from blood, urine, fecal or saliva samples. These are assayed by accredited laboratories
- We can suggest the best choices of those assays for you. When most of the assays need fasting, registration time is needed. Call +358-40-170 3031!
- Hypnotherapy (either as private or for a group of people) 1,5 – 1 hours by Veera Koski (Tel +358-40-772895, email: veera@ilonvoimaa.fi).
- When you have gastric problems, we can perform an intestinal cleansing by using ancient salt wash treatment, which is in use in yoga therapies. With a long scientific carrier in food allergies and intolerances, IBS (irritable bowel syndrome) and IBD (inflammatory bowel disease) Kirsi Vaali (Adjunct Prof., CEO of the clinic) can help you.

Mainly we are not open during weekends.
