Naturopathic Medicine in Calgary
Explaining Naturopathic Medicine
Naturopathic medicine is a distinct approach to health care that utilizes natural methods and substances to support and stimulate the body's inherent self-healing process. Practitioners of naturopathic medicine view an individual as an integral whole, creating integrative medicine plans that address whole body wellness. Symptoms of disease, such as low energy and headaches, are seen as warning signals of improper function, underlying condition, and unfavourable lifestyle habits. Rather than treating the symptoms directly, however, the primary goal of naturopathic medicine is to treat the underlying causes.

The Rising Popularity of Natural Medicine
There has been a steady revival of interest in natural medicine, integrative medicine and preventative health care. People are becoming increasingly aware that although conventional medicine, pharmaceuticals and surgery are valuable tools, they may not always be the only answer. Many individuals who struggle with ongoing symptoms and concerns are told by medical doctors that their physical exams and blood tests indicate they are in perfect health. Deep down, these individuals feel something is wrong, but our busy medical system might not be well suited to more thoroughly explore the problem. That is often why many people visit our Calgary centre for naturopathic medicine and tell us they are frustrated by health concerns that are met with little to no answers, or recommended treatments only address the symptom or treatment recommendations. This is where natural medicine can help. By stepping in to address all a patient's concerns, natural medicine can often achieve results where traditional medicine has failed.

Explaining Integrative Medicine
Integrative medicine combines traditional biomedicine with alternative medicine and healing practices such as herbal remedies, acupuncture, supplements, massage therapy and chiropractic care. Our Calgary centre for naturopathic medicine endeavours to recognize the value and perspective of various health practices, ensuring the best chance for an integrative medicine approach to support the body’s natural healing processes.
The body is inherently designed to return to health, and it has an innate ability to heal itself when given the right conditions. By utilizing integrative medicine, it can regain energy, optimal health, and provide for a better quality of life. Naturopathic medicine views an individual's symptoms as the body's way of expressing imbalances. In supporting – rather than overriding – the body's natural mechanisms through integrative medicine, it can recalibrate to a healthy state.
