Naturopathic Medicine Treatments/Modalities

Naturopathic Medicine is a unique and comprehensive approach to improving health and treating illness. It is based on the healing power of nature. A healthy body is constantly processing physical stressors by cleansing and rebuilding. If these processes are impaired, the stressors begin to negatively affect health. Naturopaths use a combination of natural methods to support and stimulate the body's inherent ability to heal itself.  These therapies include:
  • Botanical Medicines - utilization of both Western and Eastern Herbs
  • Acupuncture 
  • Clinical Nutrition - reviewing diets, testing for food allergies and sensitivities, and providing diet information best suited to the patients health. Nutraceutical supplements may also be recommended.
  • Homeopathy 
  • Physical treatments such as Bowen 
  • Health and Lifestyle Counseling 
  • Often several therapies are combined for their synergistic effects.
