Naturopathic Medicine
Homeopathy
is a type of energetic based medicine used to bring the body back into balance that originated from Europe hundreds of years ago and is still in use today. Most homeopathics come in the form of small sugar pellets that taste pleasant and can be safely combined with other medications and supplements because they do not interact with them.
Diet and lifestyle counselling
Make up a large part of naturopathic medicine and can yield very powerful results. Naturopathic doctors take a detailed look at your diet and may even test for food intolerances that are unique to you. Together we design an eating plan tailored to your needs and lifestyle. Whether your goal is to improve digestion, athletic performance or manage your weight sustainably, we can help with that!
Herbs & Vitamins
Herbs and Vitamins are two treatments very commonly used in naturopathic medicine. Herbs are medicinal plants that have bioactive compounds that help balance and heal the body. Vitamins are naturally occurring molecules that our bodies need to fuel the biochemical pathways inside our cells.
Acupuncture
Acupuncture is a traditional Chinese method used to relieve many conditions, both physical and emotional. An acupuncturist inserts very thin steel needles into the patient’s skin at various points along energy meridians in the body. The needles rebalance the body’s energy, or qi, and prompt the body to heal.
Naturopathic medicine is based on 6 fundamental principles. The first is to do no harm, that means that the utmost care is taken at choosing herbs and vitamins that are safe for you and complement any other types of medications or treatments that you are doing with other practitioners. Naturopathic medicine utilizes the healing power of nature to harness bioactive compounds from nature that help the human body heal and become resilient. Naturopathic doctors are teachers, we are here to provide you with the information and support to empower you to improve your health. Prevention is the key to health and as Naturopathic doctors we ask about family history of conditions and past medical history to form a proactive plan to help reduce risk of disease as much as possible. Naturopathic doctors take the time to identify and treat the root causes of disease by treating the whole person, not just symptoms.
