Acupuncture/Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM)
TCM is a complete medical system that has diagnosed, treated and prevented illness for thousands of years and incorporates acupuncture, acupressure, diet, massage, and Asian herbs and foods. According to TCM, when your energy flow, or Qi (pronounced “chi”) is out of balance, your body cannot adapt to stress, making you more likely to develop chronic illness and pain. TCM seeks to relieve these imbalances by adjusting the circulation of Qi and balancing the forces of yin and yang energy. A harmonious flow of Qi, achieved by balancing cold and heat, internal and external, yin and yang, will help sustain long-term physical, mental and emotional health. Acupuncture technique involves inserting and manipulating fine metal needles into acupuncture points or specific spots relating to the body's meridians.

Homeopathic Medicine
This is a natural, nontoxic therapeutic system of healing that assists in the inherent ability of the body to heal itself. Homeopathic medicines or "remedies" use minute amounts of plant, mineral or animal substances to stimulate a person's innate healing ability and to strengthen the entire system. It attempts to treat “like with like”, using substances that, in larger dosages, would develop the illness's symptom in a healthy person. Homeopathy restores the body to homeostasis, or healthy balance, which is considered its natural state. The symptoms of a disease are regarded as the body's own defensive attempt to correct its imbalance, rather than as enemies to be defeated. Homeopathic remedies are designed to stimulate this internal curative process rather than suppress the symptoms.

Botanical Medicine
Plant substances are used for their profound healing effects on the body. It utilizes diverse plant substances from around the world for their powerful healing and nutritional values. Therapy may take the form of: teas, poultices, creams and tinctures. Harnessing the healing properties of plants is an ancient practice. People in all continents have long used thousands of indigenous plants for treatment of various ailments.

Physical Therapies
This therapy includes massage, hydrotherapy, and hands on techniques for spine, joints and soft tissues. This aids in the process of detoxification. Physical medicine works in two ways. First, it restores structural soundness to the skeletal system, joints, and soft tissue. In addition, it builds immunity and supports healing and detoxification. Hydrotherapy is one of the oldest forms of medical treatment. It involves the use of water for soothing pains and treating diseases. Hydrotherapies include: cold pack, warming socks, alternating showers, peat baths etc.

Clinical Nutrition
This is the cornerstone of naturopathic medicine and is increasingly being proven to be a key contributing factor to health. Helps to identify deficient and excess states in the body in order to promote health and prevent disease. Like medicines and drugs, foods affect the way your body functions. Some foods help you heal, while others damage your body and contribute to chronic illness. A healthy diet–consisting of the right balance of vitamins, minerals, enzymes, anti-oxidants, fibre and amino acids–is the most important tool for your body to manage stress and prevent and recover from illness.

Lifestyle Counseling
To achieve the best results from your naturopathic treatment, you need to understand and practice the principles of healthy living. This is accomplished by helping you identify and adjust the habits that contribute to ill health, and help you maintain wellness over the long term. Mental attitudes and emotions are important elements in overall health and should be considered when treating illness and disease.
