Naturopathy
Naturopathy acknowledges the inherent capacity of the body and mind to heal itself. The body is seen as an integrated system with each part being affected by other parts. Each imbalance resonates throughout the cells of the body. To treat only the area which is projecting pain can can only be partially successful. Naturopathy is comfortable with the concept of a healing and sustaining Life Force that exists in everyone. Drugs and devitalized processed foods are seen to weaken the body's life force.

The methods used in Naturopathy seek to support the body's healing process. Practitioners use a wide range of remedies and treatments. These can include extensive dietary changes, juicing, herbs, vitamin and mineral supplementation, homeopathic remedies, flower essences, intestinal cleansing, fasting, hydrotherapy, exercise, stress management and general preventive lifestyle changes.

Getting healthy is often a path of discovery and empowerment. Naturopathy can give a person the tools with which to explore and take responsibility for their better health.

Iridology
The art and science of reading the iris of the eye dates back to ancient Chinese medical manuscripts where crude diagrams can be seen. Dr. Bernard Jensen was probably one of the first people in the 1900's to refine a map of the iris and its relationship to the tissues and structures of the human body. His work over the last 60 years has done much to bring the benefits of iridology to the general public.

Iridology can be better understood by realizing that there is a nero-optic reflex between the 25,000 or so nerve filaments of the iris and cervical ganglia of the sympathetic nervous system. Through this connection, the fibers within the iris become an accurate reflection of the entire body system. By understanding the variance in structure with in the iris, an iridology can recognize areas of inflammation, areas or under activity and possible dysfunction as well as toxic congestion.

We can see then that this tool is a powerful, noninvasive resource for both preventive medicine and optimal health. It can help recognize and support weak organs and body structures before they become problematic. It can also be useful for pinpointing factors which are aggravating a current health problem. Iridology could be called a window into the body. It helps us understand what our body is already trying to tell us.

Homeopathy
Homeopathy is a system of medicine developed over 200 years ago by the German physician Samual Hahnemann. Homeopathic remedies are prepared from sources such as plants, minerals, even animals and insects and are used in extremely small amounts. A guiding principle of homeopathy is that "like cures like". This means that the symptoms a substance creates can also be used to cure similar symptoms in an unhealthy person.

Each person is assessed individually according to their own unique manifestation of symptoms. The whole person is treated mental, emotional and physical with the idea that all of these together are part of any imbalance.

Hair Analysis
Trace mineral analysis is a test which measures the mineral content of your hair. Mineral content of the hair reflects mineral content of the body's tissues. If a mineral deficiency or excess exists in the hair, it usually indicates a mineral deficiency or excess within the body, or bio unavailability. It can also detect the accumulation of toxic metals such as mercury, lead or cadmium from the environment, job or hobby.
