Naturopathy

What Is Naturopathic Medicine?

Naturopathic medicine is a complementary holistic approach to medicine that promotes wellness by identifying the unique aspects of each patient. It uses science-based therapies by employing non-toxic and non-invasive natural therapies to restore the patient’s physiological, psychological, and structural balance. A Naturopathic Doctor can support all your health and wellness goals. Health management approaches can include detoxification and diet therapy, stress and fatigue reduction, weight management, fertility, prenatal, postnatal, pediatric support, and support in aging gracefully.

What Is A Naturopathic Doctor(ND)?

Naturopathic Doctors use holistic therapies to help you improve your health by working with your body’s own powers of self-regulation and self-healing. Treatment modalities include clinical nutrition, homeopathy, herbal medicine, acupuncture, lifestyle counseling, and Bowen therapy.

What Training Do Naturopaths Have?

Naturopathic practitioners have a Doctor of Naturopathic Medicine (ND) degree from a four-year graduate from medical college at the Canadian College of Naturopathic Medicine. The ND degree requires graduate-level study in conventional medical sciences, as well as extensive coursework in natural therapeutics.

Services ND’s Provide

ACUPUNCTURE

When your energy flow or Qi (pronounced “chi”) is out of balance, your body cannot adapt to stress, making it more likely to develop chronic illness and pain. Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) relieves these imbalances by adjusting the circulation of Qi. Sterile fine acupuncture needles are inserted and manipulated into median lines/ acupuncture points.

Benefits include but not excluded to:

  • Balances hormones and improves fertility by up to 40%
  • Decreased joint and back pain
  • Decreased headaches and migraine

FACIAL REJUVENATION ACUPUNCTURE

This therapy involves a non-surgical method of reducing the signs of the aging process by 5-15yrs.

It can help the whole body look and feel younger by decreasing deep wrinkles, fine lines, bags under the eyes, sagging, puffiness, drooping eyelids, double chin, large pores, dry skin and much more.

Benefits of Facial Rejuvenation Acupuncture:

  • Increase in collagen production
  • Reduce wrinkles, furrows and fine lines
  • Improve hormonal acne and rosacea
  • Lift sagging skin and tighten pores
  • Decrease dark circles and drooping eyelids

CLINICAL NUTRITION

Helps to identify deficient and excess states in the body in order to promote health and prevent disease. A healthy diet–consisting of the right balance of vitamins, minerals, enzymes, antioxidants, fiber, and amino acids–is the most important tool for your body to manage stress and prevent and recover from illness. Diet and therapeutic vitamins and minerals are prescribed for specific conditions that have been validated by scientific research.

HOMEOPATHY

This is a natural, nontoxic therapeutic system of healing that assists in the inherent ability of the body to heal itself. Homeopathic medicines or “remedies” use minute amounts of plant, mineral, or animal substances to stimulate a person’s innate healing ability and to strengthen the entire system. Natural substances are prescribed to stimulate the body’s innate healing response.
