Naturopathic Doctors use methods that aid the body's innate ability to resolve and recover from illness. Our training is unique in that we are well-versed in multiple treatment modalities. The art of practice comes with experience in knowing how and when to combine these therapies to maximize benefits and treatment outcomes for our patients.
Our modalities include: herbal medicine, acupuncture and traditional Chinese medicine, nutrition and supplementation, homeopathy, detoxification and drainage, lifestyle counselling and bowen therapy.
Herbs are used in conjunction with other therapies to promote health. Using traditional remedies combined with recent clinical advances in plant-based medicine, we can craft a plan to create better health.
Detoxification is the natural cleansing process that our body uses to remove pollutants, toxins and waste. As our environment becomes more polluted or stressed so do our detox pathways. Fortunately nature provides us with it's own solutions. Herbs, supplementation, homeopathic drainage and nutrition can serve as powerful tools to enhance and support our organ and cellular detoxification pathways.
Nutrition and the therapeutic use of foods is a vital part of naturopathic medicine. Food intolerances, deficiencies, dietary imbalances or nutritional excesses have been associated with many medical conditions. A naturopathic doctor is trained to understand the impact that your diet is having on your health. Dietary modification and nutritional supplements may be used and catered to meet the unique health needs of every patient.
In the Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) system of medicine, the body is seen as a delicate balance of two opposing and inseparable forces: yin and yang. The main assumption in TCM is that health is achieved by maintaining the body in a “balanced state” and that disease is due to an internal imbalance of yin and yang. This imbalance leads to the blockage of Chi (vital energy) flow. The Chi is carried along pathways known as meridians that lie just under the skin. These meridians nourish the organs with vital Chi and maintain overall balance in the body. A Naturopathic doctor will use Eastern herbs and acupuncture to regulate the flow of Chi and achieve balance. Acupuncture is the use of very thin needles which are inserted into specific meridian points.
Homeopathy is a medical system over 200 years old that utilizes microdoses of substances from the plant, mineral or animal kingdom to stimulate a person’s natural healing response. The underlying principle in homeopathy in the “law of similars”. This law states that a substance that produces a set of symptoms in a healthy person can cure the same set of symptoms when given in a small, infinitesimal dose. This is the same principle of allergy desensitization or immunization. There are thousands of homeopathically prepared medicines that have been tested, researched, and documented.
The Bowen Technique is a “head to toe” physical treatment that promotes self-healing and benefits all ages and stages in life. Bowen treatments help rebalance the nervous system and signal the body to eliminate inflammation and reset painful muscles, joints, nerves and tendons to their original blueprint of health. These techniques address pain, postural complaints, injuries and rebalancing of other systems.
The mental and emotional state is considered to be as important as the physical one. Altering one’s lifestyle, addressing long-standing issues and developing stress reduction strategies can help the healing process. Not only do we believe that “You are what you eat,” but even more importantly, “You are what eats you”.
