Improve your health!
The most valuable possession we have is our health, yet few people realize it until it is lost. Being healthy is not simply an absence of disease, but a state of genuine well-being.
Proper nutrition plays a key role in good health maintenance. The body can never be better than the foods provided to strengthen and maintain it. In fact, most painful degenerative conditions are due to a poor diet and lifestyle.
Don't wait until it's too late. A personal consultation can help you:
- Gain greater insight into your body's strengths and weaknesses
- Pinpoint your areas of concern
- Understand the supplements you take and why you take them
- Tune in to what your body is telling you
- Improve your health
What is natural healing?
The philosophy of natural healing encompasses the idea that the human body is capable of healing itself. Given the proper nourishment and care, your body will begin to improve the state of your health, ward off disease and maintain a harmonious balance in the way nature intended.
Why herbal supplements?
The medicinal benefits of herbs have been recognized for thousands of years. Herbs perform specific functions in the body, just as certain foods contain vitamins and minerals to help the body. Uses include:
- Cleansing the body
- Regulating body systems
- Soothing tissues
- Supporting the immune system
- Increasing energy
- Aiding nutritional concerns
Just as with food, herbs should be used with wisdom and knowledge, not indiscriminately.
We are all unique . . .
We are all individuals. Each and every person has a unique set of nutritional needs. One person's body may need strengthened, while another may need soothed and healed.
Store shelves are filled with a wide variety of supplements, all boasting powerful benefits. But, how do you know if your body really needs these products?
An experienced naturopath can uncover your personal needs and tailor a personal nutritional support program just for you.
What is Kinesiology?
Kinesiology, also known as muscle response testing, is a noninvasive way of evaluating the body's imbalances and assessing its nutritional needs. Based on the concept of internal energy fundamental to traditional Chinese medicine, it involves testing the body's responses when applying slight pressure to a large muscle in order to provide information on nutritional deficiencies. It can also be used to test the body's responses to nutrional supplements.
Throughout the body, there are energy pathways, or meridians, that send and receive messages similar to electricity. The meridians contain reflex points that have a connection with the nerves, glands, organs and nutritional needs. When testing these points, the body will give either a strong or weak response when the arm is pressed.
For example, the person being tested is asked to hold a nutritional supplement. The naturopath presses down on the client's other arm. If the client needs the supplement, the arm will remain strong against the pressure. Otherwise, the arm will go weak. The same procedure can be used to determine the supplement's dosage. When the client requires more than one supplement, the selected products are tested as a group as well. An individual product may test well, but when combined with others, it could cause a reaction.
