Conditions treated:
Acupuncture has been used for thousands of years to treat many conditions and illnesses. The effectiveness of acupuncture has been studied and related to the manipulation of the energy points on the body to balance and to remove blockages in the meridians (channels of blood and Qi), in order to achieve health and to prevent diseases.
Treatment options with the Naturopaths
BOTANICALS / HERBAL MEDICINE
The use of plants as healing therapy is as old as medicine itself, perhaps human civilization itself.
Herbal medicine refers to the use of plant’s seeds, leaves, berries, roots, barks or flowers for medicinal purposes, for internal or external use.
Plants have remarkable healing properties and can be utilized to treat, support and re-balance a person’s physical and spiritual body.
ACUPUNCTURE
Acupuncture is a unique ancient technique of inserting very thin needles through your skin at certain point on the body. It is a key component of Tradition Chinese Medicine, an independent system of thought and practice that has developed in the last 2,000 years.
Acupuncture will improve the energy flow (Qi) that circulates through the 12 regular Meridians (pathways that carry Qi and Blood through the body). Disruption of this flow causes illness.
CLINICAL NUTRITION
Food is medicine. Period.
Nutrition and the therapeutic use of foods is a cornerstone of naturopathic medicine.
Food intolerances, deficiencies, dietary imbalances or nutritional excesses have been associated with many medical conditions and are a common complain encountered by many naturopaths.
LABS
Sometimes, in order to get to the root cause of your health concerns, labs are required. The Naturopaths are amongst the few healthcare practitioners that can requisition labs.
DIET and LIFESTYLE COUNSELLING
Diet, sleep and our ability to adapt to stress.
Physical, emotional, mental, nutritional and environmental factors all disturb health. Prevention is a cornerstone of naturopathic core concepts and fundamental to your well-being.
