What is Naturopathic Medicine?
The naturopathic approach to health and disease emphasizes lifestyle medicine and the immense compacity of the body and mind to health from within. Naturopaths are trained in the art and science of both natural and conventional medicine.
Naturopathic medicine, particularly for chronic conditions, is highly individualized, honoring that each person arrives with unique experiences in the mental, emotional, spiritual, and physical planes that affect disease progression. Treatment involves identifying simple, specific and varied modalities that help a person cultivate health and longevity.
Highlighted Treatment Modalities
Botanical Medicine: Roots, leaves, and flowers blended into teas, tinctures, and salves or incorporated into meal. Plant medicine works both in synergy with pharmaceuticals and as a sole treatment modality.
Homeopathic Medicine: Homeopathy is a system of natural medicine used by millions of people worldwide for more than 200 years. Homeopathic medicine is inherently safe, affordable and used in the treatment of short-term illness and chronic conditions. Homeopathic medicines provide a gentle, yet powerful, tool to promote healing on the physical, mental, and spiritual levels.
Mind/body medicine: The mind and emotions influence, or even cause, physical illness. counseling, nutritional balancing, stress management, hydrotherapy, and other therapies are used to help patients heal psychologically.
