How can good natured medicine work for you?
Why is Naturopathic medicine so effective?
Naturopathic medicine is devoted to teaching patients how to heal themselves.
We educate you on your condition along with plant and food based interventions,
and lifestyle changes that can help you regain your health and prevent
future disease.
We approach each patient as a unique complex being with the most holistic, effective and practical means. We use insight counseling, herbal medicine, nutrition, physical therapeutics, and Homeopathy, as they all converge from a conviction that the body is the most powerful resource for healing. Thus, we make an effort to first do no harm, and to use modalities that stimulate the healing power of your body.
Though, modern medicine has excelled in areas of emergency medicine, it
is now lagging in treating the many chronic conditions people face. This
is partly due to constraints of time, and the health system in place, but
even more so it is due to a heavy reliance on high interventions like pharmaceutical
drugs and surgery which are most appropriate for trauma and acute medical
conditions.
Naturopathic medicine is an excellent alternative and for many the best
solution.
We work with the body to recreate your natural balance; instead of forcing
a drug into the system which can create side effects and further stress
to the body.
Why are pharmaceutical drugs impractical?
We aim to identify and treat the underlying cause of imbalance. Though
the "little purple pill" helped by expensive advertising can
help you forget there's a problem with your stomach by treating the burning
sensation, it blocks your stomach from creating so much acid. It might
seem that this is treating the cause, but actually creates more problems.
You see, you need the acidity of your stomach juices to break down your
food enough to digest it, and to neutralize the bacteria in your food.
Many pharmaceutical drugs are difficult to discontinue using without getting
even worse symptoms called a "rebound effect". Which positions
pharmaceutical drugs to become a long term budget item. The additional
side effects require more drugs and the potential costs are huge when you
consider the future hospital care some of these conditions may require.
Treating the cause is practical, cost-effective, and the sanest route to
health.
