Naturopathy

Naturopathic Medicine is a health care system that combines modern scientific knowledge with traditional philosophies. It is the art and science of disease diagnosis, treatment and prevention. Your well-being is best supported when the underlying causes of health and disease are addressed, and when all aspects of you as an individual are included in this process. By incorporating herbal medicine, nutrition, homeopathy, Chinese medicine, and lifestyle counselling, naturopathic care works gently and effectively to restore these foundations. Traditional methods of assessment and laboratory tests are used to guide the choice of therapies. During your first appointment we’ll thoroughly discuss your detailed health history, as well as any concerns and complaints. The frequency and number of follow-up visits vary from patient to patient and depend on the condition(s) being treated.
