NATURAL THERAPIES USED BY OUR NATUROPATHIC DOCTORS

We don’t just use naturopathic therapies because they are natural; we use them because they work.

Naturopathic physicians are trained in a wide-range of holistic healing modalities.  The ones most often utilized by the doctors at Lewis Family Natural Health are listed below.  If you have a specific request for one of these, please let us know.

• Classical Homeopathy:  Homeopathy is a system of healing which uses small non-toxic amounts of natural substances to stimulate a healing response. It is very effective for both acute and chronic conditions. Read more...

• Detoxification and Cleansing:  In our modern world the burden of toxic pollution, drugs, pesticides, heavy metals, smoke, hormones, and food preservatives threaten to overwhelm our body’s natural detoxification mechanisms.  There are many types of detoxification plans available, and at Lewis Family Natural Health we can help you figure out the appropriate detox or cleanse for your needs.

• Hydrotherapy:  Hydrotherapy is the use of water, ice, steam, and hot and cold temperatures to maintain and restore health.  Hydrotherapy is effective for a wide range of conditions and can easily be used in the home as part of a self-care program.

• Lifestyle Counseling and Coaching:  Your mental/emotional state may influence, or even cause, your physical illness.  We educate our patients on aspects of lifestyle including exercise, sleep, environmental exposures, and stress management. We work to formulate plans for more optimal health while empowering our patients to take responsibility for their own health.
  

• Mind-Body Medicine:  Recognizing the profound interconnection of mind and body, the body's innate healing capabilities, and the role of self- responsibility in the healing process, mind/body medicine utilizes a wide range of modalities, including guided imagery and meditation.
