Types of Therapies
Naturopathic medicine is individualized for each patient. However, some of the common modalities used are homeopathy, botanical medicine, and functional nutrition.
Homeopathy
Homeopathy has its origins with Dr. Samuel Hahnemann, in the late 1700's. It is a system of medicine that looks at the individual symptoms of each patient, followed by the selection of a "remedy" that most closely matches those symptoms. Homeopathy is safe, gentle, and effective, and is especially useful for those patients on numerous medications, because there is no fear of interfering with the medications.

Botanical Medicine
Using botanicals is a wonderful way to help the body heal, without using pharmaceuticals. Because botanicals are natural, the body has an easier time with processing and using them. Botanicals can be beneficial for helping with acute symptoms, and boosting the body's immune system. It is always important, however, to have your health professional decide which botanicals will be safe and effective for your individual symptom picture.
Functional Nutrition
Nutritional supplements and specific foods can be used to help correct deficiencies and imbalances in the body. In today's world, the combination of depleted soil nutrients and increased exposure to toxins makes it almost impossible to get all of the nutrients you need from eating a normal diet. Most Americans eat the "SAD" (standard american diet), which is void of nutrients and consists of mostly processed, refined foods. Most chronic illnesses stem from lack of nutrients. It is difficult for your body to function properly without the nutrients needed to run basic metabolic processes.
