Natural Medicine
Natural Medicine incorporates many different types of holistic (body,
mind & spirit) approaches to restore balance and heal. It may
include: detoxification therapy, clinical nutrition, bioenergetic
medicine, botanical medicine, holistic life coaching®, and
acupressure or acupuncture. Natural medicine has been used effectively
for thousands of years and continues to provide effective healing
without the many negative side-effects often caused by pharmaceutical
medications.
Detoxification Therapy
Our bodies are exposed to thousands of toxins in our air, food, and
water. These toxins impair the body's normal functions and lead to many
negative symptoms, including: fatigue, digestive troubles, insomnia,
restless sleep, excess weight, skin problems, and many others. By
eliminating toxins, the body is better able to perform its billions of
functions and restore health. Detoxification therapy may include:
special nutritional programs, supplements, herbs, aromatherapy baths,
exercise, breathing exercises, or other natural healing remedies or
methods.
Clinical Nutrition
Almost
daily scientists discover nutraceuticals in food that prevent or heal
illness. Special nutritional programs may be recommended that employ
the healing power of foods and nutritional supplements, such as:
vitamins, minerals, enzymes, and other nutraceuticals.
Botanical Medicine
Many pharmaceutical drugs were originally derived from herbs. Herbs
contain powerful phytochemicals (plant compounds) that help restore
health without the negative side-effects of medications. Plant-based
remedies are recommended to help the body heal.
Holistic Life Coaching®
Lifestyle choices may compromise health or help rebuild it. Coaching in
new lifestyle choices, including: food, environment, exercise, work
habits, and more can help lessen stress and improve quality of life.
