Naturopathy

Naturopathy is a distinct primary health care system that blends modern scientific knowledge with traditional and natural forms of medicine. It is based on the healing power of nature and it supports and stimulates the body’s ability to heal itself. Naturopathy is the art and science of disease diagnosis, treatment and prevention using natural therapies including: dietetics, botanical medicine, clinical nutrition, hydrotherapy, homeopathy, fasting, naturopathic manipulation, traditional Chinese medicine/acupuncture, exercise, lifestyle counseling, detoxification and chelation, environmental assessment and adjustment, spiritual healing, health promotion and disease prevention. In naturopathy we help you get to the root underlying causes of your health issues and guide you on the changes you need to make in order to get well.

Orthomolecular therapy

Micronutrients are important for your health. Vitamins, trace elements and minerals, plus essential fatty and amino acids, phytonutrients, and also pre- and probiotics: these are all involved in enabling numerous processes in the body to function normally.

Orthomolecular medicine (OM) was the term coined by a two-time Nobel Prize winner for the targeted supplementation of micronutrients for acute or chronic illnesses such as osteoarthritis, or in certain situations in life such as pregnancy or  neuro psychiatric disorders like bipolar, autism and schizophrenia. In 1968 Dr Linus Pauling used the following definition for OM in the trade journal Science: “Orthomolecular medicine is the preservation of health and the treatment of disease by varying the concentration of substances that are normally present in the body and are required for health.”
