Clinical Nutrition
If the human body were a car, what we put into our body is like the fuel. Improper fuel in the engine prevents the car from functioning efficiently and may, in part, be responsible for more frequent repairs and servicing, which can mean more illness in the body. There is an ever-increasing body of knowledge that supports the use of whole and unprocessed foods as well as nutritional supplementation for health maintenance, and the treatment of illness. Patients can make positive choices about food intake as well as appropriate nutritional supplementation under the advice of an experienced Naturopath.
Therefore, “let food be thy medicine” – Hippocrates
Herbal Medicine
History shows us that man and animals alike have used plants medicinally since the “beginning of time”. Today we understand that Botanical Medicine can be helpful for a variety of conditions such as anxiety and sleep disorders, immune dysfunction, bacterial and viral infections or even chronic conditions such as cancer. Botanical substances are powerful and often useful to the body. However, they also have numerous interactions with other substances and are best taken only after seeking the advice of a licensed practitioner.
Acupuncture and Traditional Chinese Medicine
This ancient system of medicine works to optimize the flow of life energy, known as Qi. Through understanding the imbalances of Qi in the body, a treatment plan can be devised to restore balance to the body. This can be done using Acupuncture, Herbal formulas, Diet or a combination of these.
Acupuncture works by finding specific locations on the body and stimulating those areas based on their position in relation to energy channels known as meridians. Alone or in combination with herbal formulations, acupuncture can be helpful in treating a variety of conditions including joint and muscle pain or injury, stress and anxiety, digestive disorders and hormonal imbalance.
Homeopathy
This highly energetic form of therapy uses various substances, in extreme dilution, to help the body restore itself to a more balanced state of being. This powerful drugless medicine is extremely popular in many parts of the world, such as India and many parts of Europe. The mechanism of action is energetic so homeopathy can be used safely with infants and children as well as many patients currently taking prescription/pharmaceutical medicines. Like all natural products, it is advised that patients use these remedies only after consultation with trained practitioners such as Homeopaths or Naturopathic Doctors.
