Naturopathic Therapies

After we have established a thorough understanding of you and your health concerns, a treatment plan will be individually created and may include:

Acupuncture
Acupuncture balances the flow of Qi (energy) through meridian pathways within the body. Acupuncture can be used to relieve pain, strengthen weak organs, tonify the immune system and alleviate many symptoms. Acupuncture treatments may be combined with hot stone massage to improve lymphatic circulation and promote rest and relaxation.

Clinical Nutrition
Clinical nutrition examines the relationship between diet and health. This includes specific diets tailored to your body’s needs, and sensitivity testing to remove foods that are shown to be harmful. Vitamins, minerals, enzymes and specialty products are used as required.

Detoxification
Toxins from the environment are present in our food, air, and water. Toxicity contributes to fatigue, irritability, glandular imbalances and many other diverse health concerns. We offer a variety of procedures including comprehensive seasonal detoxification programs.

Herbal Medicine
The use of plants for healing dates back to the beginning of civilization and is the foundation of modern Pharmacology. Unlike drugs, plants rarely cause side effects as they heal the body. A combination of herbs will be chosen for your specific condition.

Homeopathy
Based on the principle of “like cures like”, Homeopathy uses small amounts of medicinal substances to stimulate the body’s self-healing abilities. Homeopathy can also be used to release stored emotional and physical trauma that the body can be holding and manifesting as disease.

Mind Body Awareness
Studies have shown that the mind (how we think and feel) plays a significant role in our health. Practices including awareness, counseling, and visualization exercises will be explored.
