NATUROPATHIC TREATMENTS
‘You are what you eat’ - just as the saying goes, your diet plays an essential role in your health. Dietary recommendations and/or nutritional supplements can help your health condition by providing the proper nutrients your body needs to facilitate healing, strengthening, or detoxification.
CLINICAL NUTRITION
ACUPUNCTURE & CHINESE HERBS
‘Chi’ is the life force present in all living organisms that helps maintain health. Acupuncture helps the ‘chi’ move along pathways (also known as meridians) to remove blockages or imbalances of ‘chi’ that result in pain and illness. Chinese herbs may also be suggested to optimize results.
HERBAL MEDICINE
The use of plants as medicine can be traced back to the beginning of civilization and is one of the oldest methods of healing. The roots, flowers, leaves, seeds, and bark of certain plants can be used in the form of food or in extracted forms such as tinctures, capsules, and solid extracts.
HOMEOPATHIC MEDICINE
This system of medicine was established over 200 years ago by the German physician Samuel Hahnemann. It is based on the principle of "like cures like" which means that a substance that causes certain symptoms in a healthy person can cure similar symptoms in an unhealthy person when taken in a highly diluted form.
PHYSICAL MEDICINE
Hydrotherapy, peat therapy, infrared sauna therapy, and soft tissue work are all therapeutic strategies that may be used to facilitate healing via a physical means.
LIFESTYLE COUNSELING
Exercise, stress reduction, relaxation, open communication, and a harmonious environment all contribute to a healthy, happy, and balanced life. You will be taught how to balance these lifestyle factors to allow you to live a more fulfilling life.
INTRAVENOUS THERAPY
Intravenous (I.V.) therapy is a specialized Naturopathic treatment that requires additional training and certification. I.V. therapy enables a high concentration of nutrients to be administered to the body which can achieve results unparalleled by oral nutrients, especially for cancer support and digestive problems where absorption is an issue. I.V. administration by-passes the digestive tract and the nutrients contain no binders, fillers, or coating agents which are often found in tablets.
FACIAL REJUVENATION & BODY SCULPTURE ACUPUNCTURE
Stimulation of certain acupuncture points of the face and body can help to reduce the signs of aging. Facial rejuvenation acupuncture has been shown to improve muscle tone and elasticity; tone up puffy skin and reduce sagging; improve acne or dry skin by balancing hormone production and oil secretions; tighten pores; improve complexion by improving the flow of blood, lymph, and ‘chi’ to the face; treat age spots, facial discoloration, cellulite, hair loss, eczema, rosacea; and slow down the aging process.
