Why Choose to see a Naturopath?

Naturopathic medicine is a noninvasive, natural method of healing, based on the goals of:

Prevention is preferable to cure

The root cause of dysfunction is identified & treated, not the symptoms

The whole person is treated, not the disease

These are the most basic differences between a Naturopathic approach and that of medical doctors and conventional medicine.

Therapies

Naturopathy is an umbrella term for a variety of natural therapies, which can be used in combination or individually, depending on a person’s needs. I use nutritional medicine, homeopathy and herbs for example, depending on an individual’s needs.

Health Tests

The philosophy is based on addressing both symptoms and more importantly the underlying causes. Testing and poinpointig the cause is a key part of my job. I do this with iridology, functional health tests, and hair analysis – depending on what is indicated.

The emphasis is on directing and controlling health into the future, while improving the overall vitality of a person and immune response.

Uncover the Root Cause

Symptoms are a reflection of a disordered overall system. Balance and equilibrium are the goals of Naturopaths and Naturopathic doctors. An example of this could be chronic migraines, or a skin condition such as chronic eczema. These are often symptoms of a deeper condition. Headaches and migraines are rarely caused by the head, but are so often related to digestive, hormonal, stress, or neck and back problems.
