The following are the core therapeutics used in the practice of Naturopathic Medicine.
Clinical Nutrition
A complete diet analysis is done to identify specific nutritional needs, followed , if necessary, by dietary revisions. This may include supplements if warranted, but the emphasis is, first, on the right foods for each individual.
Botanical Medicine
Herbs are nature’s medicines, and many of our existing pharmaceuticals are based on active ingredients from herbal sources. Here, herbs are used in their natural state, prepared as tinctures, capsules, or teas, for specific requirements.
Homeopathic Medicine
Homeopathy is over 100 years old, and its premise is even older: like cures like. Minute amounts of plant, animal, or mineral substances are used to stimulate the body’s healing ability.
Acupuncture & Traditional Chinese Medicine
Acupuncture and Chinese herbal medicine have been used with great success for thousands of years to manipulate and rebalance the body’s energy patterns and correct disease processes.
Physical Medicine
Hands-on techniques such as hydrotherapy, massage, manipulation, and alignment therapies are often used to enhance healing.
Lifestyle Counseling
True healing can only happen when all aspects of a person’s life are addressed; this can sometimes be the most important therapy used.
