What is Naturopathy? What Does a Naturopath Do?

Naturopathy has been in the United States for more 100 years. Naturopaths acknowledge and work to assist the self-healing process in every individual. They seek to identify and eliminate the underlying cause of illness, rather than to simply eliminate or suppress symptoms. Naturopath's emphasize education and encourage self responsibility for health. A naturopath is a teacher. Each client is seen as a whole person that has "individual" physical, mental, genetic, spiritual, environmental and social factors and needs. Naturopath's recognize the importance of disease "prevention." The evaluation they perform is to determine the cause of existing or potential health concerns. Naturopath's do not "diagnose" disease nor give "treatment" for disease. It is the correct interventions and support programs which are the key to creating and maintaining optimal health & balance in each individual client.

What is Homeopathy, a Homeopathic Remedy and what does a Homeopathic Practitioner do?

Homeopathic medicine was discovered over 200 years ago by the 1st Homeopathic Doctor, Samual Hahnemann, a chemist and physician that was disillusioned with the medical practices of his time. Homeopathy has to do with the principles of the laws of similars: "Let like be cured with like." Homeopathic remedies are simply a dilution of one or more substances which are diluted until either none or very little or the original substance remains. It is the "signal" rather than the substance which is considered to have the healing effect.

What kind of techniques are used?

Nutritionally Yours teaches how to obtain "balance" of each individual's body, mind and spirit to allow the body to heal itself. Techniques used vary from, vitamin supplements, detox programs, homeopathy, dietary adjustments & herbs.

What type of Nutrition Counseling will you receive?

The classes Alane has taken teach have how specific nutritional components can support the body during a health challenge to enhance overall health and wellness. For example, the orthomolecular concept of nutrition is based on diets and supplements of essential vitamins and minerals specifically selected to support individual problems and needs. The overall goal is to promote optimal health and longevity for the individual. We also teach that there are chemical reactions that can occur within the body as a result of dietary habits. Fats, Proteins, Carbs, Vitamins and Minerals all contribute to health and wellness. We look at certain metabolic pathways for utilization of nutritional substances needed to maintain good health.

Note: Any nutritional counseling received at our office is based on the practices of Naturopathy & Holistic Wellness. It is not a practice in dietetics.
