Alternative medicine is non-traditional medicine such as naturopathy, homeopathy, acupuncture, and chiropractic care that usually complements traditional medicine.
It's not that a naturopath doesn't believe in conventional medication.
What they believe is that your body often has the ability to heal when given the right balance. A balance that is often thrown off by lack of nutrition, poor mental health, stress, and environmental toxins.
The focus of alternative medicine is the whole-body approach in order to achieve optimal health - your body, diet, and mind.
Many of today's chronic diseases stem from nutritional excess and deficiency that is a result of a poor diet that is high in toxins or lacks proper nutrients for your body. Dietary supplements, herbal medicine, and overall diet improvement will help balance your body's nutritional well-being and improve many of the alignments such as bloating, chronic fatigue, depression, and more.
This helps your body naturally heal from these health conditions. It will also prevent many health problems, such as cardiovascular heart disease, diabetes, and cancer.
Your health is affected by more than just the foods you eat; your mental health affects your overall health as well. This is why we focus on healing your whole body to obtain optimal health and fully live your life.
