Modalities included under Naturopathic Medicine

To prevent is to keep something from happening, which is exactly  what we want to do with diseases, sickness, pain, etc. In order to  prevent sickness and promote optimal wellness, it is necessary to  

learn how to take care of our bodies in such a way that we never have  before. 

Nutrition, the first thing I want to know about; what are you putting in  your mouth? What are you feeding your body? We have to stop eating  junk and start eating nutritious foods that bring life to every cell in the  body. We have to find time to get in physical movement, and learn  how to relax and laugh. Keeping your body in a state of optimum  health is prevention in itself. We may not be able to prevent every cold  or headache, but what if a healthier lifestyle could prevent heart  disease, diabetes, or even cancer? What if healthier choices helped  your body better fight colds, flu, and other more minor issues with  greater effect? What if? Then would you try it? Then would putting  down the soda and picking up the water be worth it? 

What if prevention is key to a long, healthy life; and what if choosing  the right foods, the right supplements, and the right activities all play a  role in prevention? Just ask yourself, would it be worth it? 

Here we talk overall lifestyle and supplement therapy. We work to get  your body in its healthiest state. Education on how, what, why, and  when is essential, and that is where a Naturopathic consultation can  help you achieve healthy living for a lifetime. Do not go at it alone; we  are here to help, and we meet you where you are. 

Botanical medicine is using plants as medicine to bring healing,  restoration, health to the body. Some people know it as phytotherapy  or herbal medicine. Plants have been used for their medicinal and  therapeutic properties for centuries. Even in the Bible you hear of the  frankincense and myrrh being brought to Jesus as gifts. Herbs hold  much value in the field of Naturopathic Medicine, where they are  generally used to increase energy, combat infection, promote healing,  reduce pain, aide in sleep, encourage relaxation, and bring healing  and wellness to the various organs of the body. 

Herbs are a wonderful source of natural medicine, because they are in  themselves, food, which works to treat the whole person. This is  especially true when combination herbs are used to treat a specific  condition. There are many conditions that herbs are used for in  naturopathic medicine, which include but is not limited to the following:  headache, heart health, insomnia, headaches/migraines, PMS, gas,  bloating, digestive issues, colds, allergies, ADD, cough, anxiety,  depression, adrenal fatigue, mental fatigue, acne, etc. Herbs can be  given in several different forms, including: tincture, solid extract, tea,  powder, or salve.

”Like cures like.” Homeopathy may be one of the most difficult  modalities to explain, and even more difficult to believe until you see it  work! Once you see homeopathy do what it does best, which is heal,  you quickly become a believer in the power of the “sugar pill”, as many  call it. 

Homeopathy may be best described by using an example, and the  best example is to think of the symptoms that cutting an onion causes.  When you cut an onion your nose starts to run and your eyes tear up,  similar to allergies or a cold. So, in order to promote healing you would  then take allium cepa (onion) in its homeopathic form (greatly diluted),  for runny nose and watery eyes, because like cure like. Since allium  cepa, which is onion, produces these type of symptoms it is known to 

heal these symptoms as well. Like cures like and less is more is the  simplest way to think about homeopathy. 

Homeopathy is safe and effective. Remedies are recommended  based on the patient history and symptoms. It works on an energetic  level to bring healing to the body. Homeopathy is great for all ages,  even pets! 

Facial Rejuvenation: 

Do you want an alternative to Botox? Do you want to see  improvement in you skin texture and complexion? Are you tired of  looking tired? Do you want to say goodbye to those unwanted laugh  lines and crows feet? If you answered yes to any of the above then  facial rejuvenation may be just the therapy you need to look healthier  and feel better.

Facial rejuvenation (acupuncture) is an ancient beauty method that is  gaining much popularity among many. It has become a “secret” of the  stars of Hollywood, and is quickly kicking more invasive procedures to  the curb as an effective alternative. 

Facial rejuvenation is a form of acupuncture that is specific to  transforming the skin of the face. It uses tiny needles that work to  rebuild collagen, help tone the facial muscles, and nourish the skin by  improving overall circulation, including blood and lymph circulation.  Imagine doing all this without using harsh chemicals or undergoing  invasive surgeries. 

Everyone is different, but you can expect to do at least 6-10  treatments twice a week initially. Following the initial treatment, you  can then expect to do one treatment a week for the 6 weeks.  Maintenance follow-up treatments may be recommended once a  month in order to enhance the results. Beautiful changes are usually  noticed within the first six treatments. Results vary, but many people  see slight changes in their complexion following their first treatment,  noted as a healthy glow to their skin.

An amazing way to work on many issues, pain being the most common. The microcurrent device is similar to a TENS but works on  different fibers of the nervous system, called C-fibers, which stimulate  different neuropeptides as well as other regulatory peptides, helping  the body to heal itself.
