The Art and Science of Healing

Naturopathic medicine is a comprehensive system of Medicine based on the philosophies of Vitalism and Holism that focuses on treating the root causes of illness using natural substances and treatments that support and stimulate the body’s ability of heal itself.

"When given the right support, you will come to trust your body’s ability to heal itself. It provides gentle and effective solutions to many acute and chronic health issues."

Naturopathic education incorporates modern medical sciences with holistic healing systems such as Traditional Chinese medicine, Acupuncture, Homeopathy and Botanical medicine to diagnose and treat functional imbalances and restore health for the individual.

You will find an open and supportive environment to discuss your health concerns. A detailed medical history will be taken, lab results analyzed, and additional functional testing such as food sensitivity tests, stool tests or hormone tests may be suggested when indicated. Your health needs are assessed based on all the information provided, and you will then be presented with a treatment plan.

Treatment strategies do not seek to destroy disease agents or suppress symptoms, rather to remove obstacles to healing, correct nutrient deficiencies, improve detoxification processes, balance the microbiome and nervous system, and support your innate healing ability.

You will come to trust your body’s ability to heal itself when given the right support.

What can I expect on my Initial visit?

The Initial visit with a Naturopathic doctor is an hour and a half to ensure adequate time for
a detailed case taking, discussion of lab results and health goals. An initial health
assessment is communicated, and some aspects of treatment initiated.
Follow-up appointments are half an hour to an hour where the treatment plan is expanded
as needed and progress is assessed.

How does Naturopathic medicine compare with Conventional medicine?

The term Naturopathy was coined in the very early 1900’s in North America to describe all
forms of medicine that embraced health and disease from a Vitalistic and holistic
perspective. This was in response to the shift in focus of health care institutions at the time
on pharmaceutical and surgical approach until all medical institutions restricted their
curriculum to the pharmaceutical approach also known as Allopathic medicine. Both
approaches have merit and their own strengths and limitations.
The establishment of separately regulated and accredited Naturopathic medical schools
allows the public to be able to access other healing modalities from qualified practitioners.
