Get a Holistic Approach to Treating Chronic Illness with Naturopathic Medicine

We help you stimulate the body’s natural healing power and treat the root cause of disease.

Naturopathy, also called naturopathic medicine, is a holistic system that combines various therapies, including nutrition counselling, acupuncture, herbs, homeopathy, joint manipulation and mobilization, psychotherapy or counselling.

Naturopathic medicine is tailored to treats all forms of health concerns for all ages – from irritating symptoms to chronic illness and from the physical to the psychological. However, it is the approach, philosophy and training of naturopathic doctors that sets it apart from other forms of health care.

Its history dates back to the 18th & 19th centuries and was popular with individuals who wanted to incorporate a healthy diet.

The naturopathic philosophy is to stimulate the body’s healing power and treat the root cause of disease. For many patients, this difference in approach to health provides them with a new perspective and awareness. Patients have been finding tremendous benefits by addressing the root cause(s) of their disease and the appropriate use of therapies such as IV therapy, B12 injections, vitamin drips or dietary detoxification.
