Naturopath Services
Traditional Chinese Medicine: This form of medicine is based on over 3,000 years of teachings. It follows the principles of balance and Yin/Yang. It is believed that health is restored through the smooth flow of Qi. Diet, lifestyle, acupuncture and herbs are the main therapeutic tools.
Homeopathy: Based on the principle that “like cures like” homeopathic medicine has been practiced since the 1700s. Generally, small sugar granules or fluid preparations are dispensed to restore balance and to eliminate unwanted symptoms.
Herbal medicine: Used primarily for its pharmacotherapeutic properties, herbal or botanical medicine is popular in cultures all over the world. Preparations come in various forms: capsule, tablet or fluid.
Clinical nutrition: Often considered the cornerstone of practice, proper and adequate nutrition is fundamental to health. Dietary modifications are implemented to create the ideal terrain for healing. In addition, supplements may be added when deemed appropriate.
Counselling: Naturopathic Doctors receive training in counselling as part of their clinical education. Naturopathic Doctors are not, however, therapists. An empathetic environment based on mutual respect is essential for the healing process.
Hydrotherapy: The use of water preparations to expedite healing. Examples include hot and cold showers, application of compresses and poultices and sauna therapy.
Physical medicine and spinal manipulation: Naturopathic Doctors receive training in relaxation massage, orthopedic assessments and spinal adjustments.
