    Herbal Medicine

    Herbal Medicine includes teas, tinctures (alcohol based extractions), and dried supplements. The tinctures and teas are compounded on-site and offer a wonderful opportunity for individualization. The herbs are selected based on patient’s concerns and thus are always custom-designed.

    Nutrition

    Diet is key to a healthy lifestyle. Recommendations are made based on patient’s condition, religious beliefs, personal preferences, the latest research and individual response. I do not support any one diet as being the solution for everyone and everything. Many diets are beneficial for different conditions at different stages. Nutritional supplements may be recommended.

  • Acupuncture naturopathic treatment for neurological conditions

    Acupuncture

    Acupuncture involves the insertion of thin needles into points on the body to stimulate the “Qi” as per Eastern Medicine. The average session is 30 to 40 minutes and is repeated between 6 and 12 times through 6 to 12 weeks. Points vary and are selected based your custom plan. This also directs the duration and frequency of these sessions. Acute conditions typically see an improvement in 3 sessions, while chronic conditions can take longer.
