Acupuncture is the use of very thin needles which are inserted into specific meridian points on the body. The practice of acupuncture has been used for over two-thousand years and has proven to be very effective especially for pain relief and chronic illness.
The use of plants for healing dates back to the beginning of civilization and is the foundation of modern pharmacology. The use of herbs in many forms: teas, tinctures, or capsules are used for their healing effects and nutritional value may be recommended for healing effects.
Food as medicine has been used for thousands of years, and it is well researched and documented that many diseases are caused by nutritional deficiencies. Nutrients are required for every cellular process in the body and nutrient deficiencies can lead to issues with bodily functions. It can be caused by poor digestion, food sensitivities, absorption issues, allergies, chronic disease, and other conditions. People may appear apparently healthy but still, be nutrient-depleted. Healing with food comprises a large part of Naturopathic Medicine as many health conditions can be managed and treated by food and nutritional therapies including skin issues, allergies, digestive issues, pain, and inflammatory conditions, weight problems, cardiovascular and blood sugar problems.
An avenue of medicine, dating back to the 1700s, that works on a non-toxic level, homeopathy supports the body’s own means of physical and emotional healing through stimulating our internal ‘vital force’, yielding minimal side effects. Homeopathy is based on three major principles: i) like treats like (Law of Similars); ii) the more dilute the remedy, the stronger the medicine is (Law of the Infinitesimal Dose); and iii) every illness is specific to the individual (holistic medical approach). Medicines are formulated using a variety of sources such as plant, animal or mineral substances.

Bioidentical hormone therapy (BHRT) uses natural plant-based hormones that are identical in structure to our own human hormones versus bio-similar or synthetic hormones used in hormone replacement therapy (HRT). This therapy can be used in men and women to help replenish the decline in hormones as we age as well as correcting hormonal imbalances. BHRT can be used for patients who experience menopausal symptoms such as night sweats, hot flashes, mood swings, weight gain, memory loss, low libido, and even hair loss. It can also be used to treat menstrual irregularities, fertility issues, and thyroid imbalances.
