Naturopathy

Naturopathic medicine employs healing techniques directed at the root cause of illness. The goal is to determine the cause of your health concerns, not just treat symptoms. The word "Doctor" is derived from the Greek word "Docere'" meaning teacher. A naturopathic practitioner teaches how to get well and stay well.

Chronic conditions respond best to a naturopathic approach. The following are some examples:

· Chronic Fatigue Syndrome

· Allergies and Environmental Illness

· Arthritis

· Digestive Disorders

· Menopausal Problems

· PMS and Menstrual Disorders

· Fibrocystic Breast

· Constipation

· Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS)

· Gas and Bloating

· High Cholesterol

· Epstein Barr Virus

Live Blood Cell Analysis(LBCA)

The fastest way to detect specific nutritional deficiencies is by examining a drop of blood taken from the finger, under the Darkfield Microscope. The size and shape blood cells help determine which enzymes and nutrients are missing or in short supply within the body. Also evident from the LBCA is the presence of foreign agents in the blood, such as: plaque, fungal forms, bacteria and parasites. Gaining this knowledge could mean the difference between living a healthy, energetic lifestyle or not feeling as well as you should.

The primary advantage of having a Live Blood Cell Analysis is the early detection of nutritional disorders well before standard blood tests are able to detect any chemical changes. Early detection has many benefits including true illness prevention, increased knowledge of nutrition, and greater wellness.

Colon Hygiene -- Your Answer to Better Health!

This therapy is not intended to be a "cure all", but is a valuable procedure for a wide variety of conditions of ill-health. Intestinal malfunctions are precursors of many illnesses. The restoration of intestinal elimination, too often ignored, is an important preliminary course to the restoration of health. An inefficient colon is not always the cause of sickness, but is believed to accentuate and prolong any and all diseased conditions of the human body.

Enzyme Therapy

Based on the results obtained from the Live Blood Cell Analysis, plant enzymes or other nutritional products may be recommended to correct any imbalances that present themselves. A LBCA takes the guesswork out of identifying nutritional deficiencies and determining an effective treatment protocol. Enzymes play a vital role in the pursuit and attainment of optimal health and fitness. Even in the presence of sufficient vitamins, minerals and water intake, life as we know it could not exist without the action of enzymes. As such, if you experience any of the following conditions, a Live Blood Cell Analysis may prove helpful in determining an appropriate nutritional program for you.

Fatigue	Joint/Muscle Pain
Frequent Illness	Insomnia
Intestinal/Digestive Disorders	Anxiety or Depression
Yeast/Parasite Problems	Weight Imbalances
Food Cravings	Skin Disorders
Allergies	Menstrual/Menopause Concerns
Headaches

Reiki

A deep relaxation method of therapeutic touch focuses the universal healing energy through the hands of a skilled and trained practitioner. Reiki works in conjunction with and as an adjunct to medical and non-medical treatments and therapies. The experience of a Reiki treatment is usually a deep feeling of warmth, well-being and comfort.

Nutritional Counseling

Hippocrates said "Our food should be our medicine". In these days, when important nutrients are often processed from food, natural herbal supplements are more needed than ever. Sometimes, your body needs a little help to get rid of unwanted influences. Many people don't get enough vitamins, and are putting themselves at risk of memory loss, osteoporosis, and dozens of other ailments. Vitamins play an important role in your health, be sure you're getting what you need.

Hypnotherapy

Subconscious and unconscious trauma often manifests in physical and emotional ailments. Gentle hypnotherapy helps unmask the causes of some illnesses and discomforts. Hypnotherapy helps you to resolve inner blockages, and gently flow through the process of change and recovery.

Essential Oils

Essential oils are volatile liquids that are distilled from plants, seeds, bark, leaves, stems, roots, flowers, and fruit. Essential oils have a unique lipid-solution structure. They diffuse into the bloodstream through cell membranes. The same way that the active ingredients in hormone or nicotine patches do. The human blood and essential oils of plants have several common properties. They fight infection, contain hormone-like compounds and initiate regeneration. Essential oils contain antibacterial, antifungal, and antiviral properties. The ability of some essential oils to work as hormones helps to bring balance to many systems of the human body. The lipid soluble structure of essential oils is similar to our cell membranes. They easily penetrate the cells because the molecules of the oils are small. Applied topically to the body they can travel through the body in just minutes.
