Modalities of Interaction

Natural Therapies
Counseling and Stress Management
One’s attitude and mental and emotional states can play important roles in one’s health. Lifestyle counseling, nutritional balancing, stress management, and other mind-body methods are used to maintain optimal health.

Environmental Medicine
Children and adults are now being exposed to greater quantities of chemicals in the environment and food supply. As we age, we accumulate toxins in our body. These chemicals affect our immune system contributing to a variety of chronic health problems including fatigue, autoimmune disease, and cancer. Naturopathic detoxification and immune restoration therapies are an important aspect of the maximizing wellness.

Oriental Medicine
Oriental medicine is a complementary health system to naturopathic medicine. It offers an important understanding of the unity of body, mind, and spirit and believes in strengthening a patient’s vital energy (Qi). By incorporating the Western understanding of medicine, the fundamentals of oriental medicine and diagnosis can be used to support wellness and harmonize imbalances.

Natural Medicine
Clinical Nutrition
The concept, "Food is your best medicine", has been a foundation of naturopathic medicine. A growing body of nutritional knowledge in this area is reflected in numerous professional journals of nutrition and dietary sciences. Medical experts understand that healthy nutrition is the key to wellness and health. Many medical conditions can be treated effectively with foods and nutritional supplements with excellent results.

Botanical Medicine
The use of plant medicine is a core to a natural medicine practice. Plants are powerful medicines when properly used. Quality herbs, correct dosage, and knowledge of potential interactions are essential to effective treatment. Botanical medicines are used in both traditional herbal formulations and as phytomedicines, which are scientifically researched and formulated.

Homeopathic Medicine
This natural health system is over 200 years old and is widely used in Europe. Homeopathic medicine is based on the principle of “like cures like.” Symptoms are seen as the body’s immune system at work and therefore communicate a deeper problem. Some conditions that conventional medicine has no treatment for respond well to homeopathy. Instead of suppressing the symptoms with pharmaceutical drugs, homeopathic medicines assist the body in returning to its natural state of health.
