Healing Your Mind, Body and Spirit
Naturopathic Medicine is a distinctive primary health care practice that takes a holistic approach to health, and treats not just the disease but also the person as a whole. It embraces the art and science of natural healing, so it seeks to restore and maintain optimal health by maximizing the body's inherent self-healing capacity.
NATUROPATHY
Our Doctor of Naturopathic Medicine is a licensed primary Health Care Practitioner, and deals with the underlying cause of disease, while focusing on prevention, treatment and wellness, by providing a range of diagnostic laboratory tests (e.g. allergy testing) and therapies.
The primary treatments used are therapeutic nutrition, botanical medicine, homeopathy, diet and lifestyle counseling, detoxification, and stress management.
Naturopathic Doctors are specialists in natural medicine and preventive health care, integrating scientific
knowledge with traditional healing wisdom..
They use safe, gentle, non-invasive therapies to deliver health care following these Naturopathic principles:
