Naturopathic Therapies


The current scope of Naturopathic Practice includes, but is not limited to:

Clinical Nutrition: “Food is the best medicine” is a cornerstone of Naturopathic Medicine. Nutritional support and dietary recommendations are integral to ensuring that the body has the needed building blocks to sustain and aid healing. Treating with foods, removing food sensitivities, and using nutritional supplements can help to heal, and have few complications and side effects. Naturopathic Doctors use nutrition and nutritional supplementation to address deficiencies, assist the body in eliminating toxins, stimulate healing or address specific health concerns.

Homeopathic Medicine is based on the principle of “like cures like.” It works on a subtle yet powerful energetic level, using minute amounts of a substance, and gently acting to strengthen the body’s healing response.

Botanical Medicine uses herbal teas, tinctures or capsules as an alternative to drugs for treating specific health concerns and aiding the body in recovering from injury or disease.

Counselling: Mental attitudes and emotional states will influence, or even cause, physical illness. Stress management, visualization, meditation, breathing techniques and other therapies are used to help heal on the psychological level.

Hydrotherapy, or ‘water healing’, uses Earth’s most essential resource, and it’s various temperature gradients, to promote health and soothe and restore the body.

Physical Medicines are hands-on techniques using soft tissue work and stimulating techniques to provide support for healing. Includes healing techniques such as bowen and massage therapy.

Traditional Chinese Medicine is an ancient system of medicine that harmonizes the flow of energy (Qi) in the body. It includes the use of Chinese botanicals and the energetics of food.
