Botanical medicine
Plants help heal wounds, boost immunity to bacterial/viral/fungal infections, reduce inflammation, modulate glucose, sooth the gastrointestinal tract, aid digestion, enhance mood, protect the brain from aging and improve cardiovascular health. Plants also affect us energetically. They can be warming, cooling, drying, or moisturizing. Liquid tincture and teas can be blended to form a synergistic therapeutic plan for your specific set of symptoms. Other forms of treatment include ointment salves, tablets and poultices.

Lifestyle modifications
Lifestyle modification including diet, stress management, physical exercise, mental stimulation and environmental exposure can significantly improve brain health, immune deficiencies, autoimmune disease, liver disease, GI disturbances, mood disorders, learning disabilities, PMS, and menopause symptoms. Changing a life time of habits is not an easy task but results can significantly improve your quality of life. Support through literature, frequent contact and appropriate referrals is an important component of care.

Acupuncture

Acupuncture has been used in Asia for at least 2500 years to aide with a spectrum of health issues. One area of broad acceptance is acute and chronic pain management for muscle skeletal damage caused by trauma, repetitive injury, stroke, osteoporosis, arthritis and surgucal procedures. Traditional acupuncture is the insertion of sterle single use needles at key locations along energy pathways (meridians) to normalize energy (Qi or Chi) flow within the body.

Dietary supplements
Vitamins, minerals, trace elements, enzymes, enzyme cofactors, and other key biochemical constituent’s can help the body regain the vitality it requires to heal itself and return to normalcy. Patients with reduced metabolic capabilities, because of single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPS) or environmental toxins, may require supplementation to bypass blockages in key metabolic pathways. Gene testing designed to identify known SNPS is now emerging.

Nutrition
A myriad of biochemical reactions are occurring in ever cell in our body. Each requires energy and raw materials. The body obtains these through breathing and eating. If the raw materials are absent we cannot function properly. We literally are "what we eat". The current rise of obesity is an example of how a poor diet can affect our health. Well balanced diets rich in key nutrients and free of reactive damaging toxins helps assure good health. But it is not that simple, diets must be optimized for an individuals specific health circumstances.

Homeopathy
Samuel Hahnemann conceived homeopathy on the premise that symptoms of ill health are an expression of disharmony within a person and that treatment with very dilute solutions of a substances which causes a similar set of symptoms in a healthy individual (law of similars), will stimulate the bodies innate healing powers. Homeopathy is prescribed on a holistic basis. An initial intake may take one and a half hours and will include questions concerning a persons physical symptoms, mental/emotional state and past family medical history. Acute complaints may resolve rapidly while chronic slow developing illnesses are likely to resolve more slowly as the body heals from within.

Naturopathic manipulation
Our daily lives can be tough on our muscular skeletal system. Sprains, strains, aches and pains can affect our physical capabilities, key organ function and our mental/emotional state. Soft tissue techniques and manipulation can be an important component of any treatment plan. For instance patients with Fibromyalgia and Chronic Fatigue Syndrome as well as trauma victims will all benefit from physical medicine techniques.

Counseling
Our mind and our body are constantly interacting. This interaction can profoundly affect our mental emotional and physical health. Unresolved emotional issues can affect organ function and the muscular skeletal system. GI disturbances can affect the brain via the enteric nerves system. It is not "all just in your head". A mind body approach to medicine and healing assures these connects will be considered when therapeutic guidelines are developed.
