Naturopathy

Naturopathic medicine is a comprehensive primary health care approach that integrates traditional healing therapies with conventional medical knowledge and understanding.

Focusing on prevention, and using gentle non-invasive natural treatments, Naturopathic medicine support and stimulate the body’s ability to heal itself. Naturopathic treatment can complement conventional medical treatment or be used effectively on its own.

The primary goal is to address the cause of illness, rather than simply suppress symptoms. Each person’s unique physical, mental and emotional state is considered in developing a personalized healthcare plan.

Naturopathic Medicine is driven by the 6 Fundamental Healing Principles:

First, to do no harm

To treat the root causes of disease

To support the healing power of the body

To teach the principles of healthy living and preventative medicine

To heal the whole person through individualized treatment

To emphasize prevention

WHAT TO EXPECT IN NATUROPATHIC MEDICINE

The primary goal is to understand all aspects of an individual’s life and determine how they are impacting their health and sense of well being.

Naturopathy uses a variety of modalities to return the individual to health:

Dietary assessment and modification may be used to optimize body function and address deficiencies. This may include the use of vitamin, mineral, or enzyme supplementation.

Botanical Medicine

Plants and their constituents have a long and eclectic tradition of use in addressing disease and illness.

Traditional Chinese Medicine

An ancient method of diagnosis and treatment using dietary, herbal, and acupuncture techniques has shown to be very effective in addressing many concerns.

Homeopathy

Minute doses of natural substances (animal, botanical, and mineral) are used to stimulate the body’s natural healing ability.
