Naturopathy and Women’s Health

Naturopathy and Women's Health

Naturopathic medicine provides a set of safe tools that can be used effectively in a wide range of women’s health concerns. As naturopathic doctors, our aim is to provide acute relief while looking for and addressing the root causes. For example, a woman coming in for a PMS-related concern would get help with immediate pain, but also long-term support to improve her overall health and hormonal balance, as well as identify mental/emotional factors so as to prevent PMS in the future. In the process, this patient could gain a lot of knowledge not only in nutrition and lifestyle modification, but also in herbal medicine, homeopathic remedies, and neutraceuticals. As a result, she may then feel more independent and in control of her health.

Many women’s health issues stem from excess estrogen levels in the body, which tend to come from the environment as many chemicals are estrogenic. Another big issue is stress management. Stress can imbalance every system in the body. Modern women wear many hats and accomplish many things, and might not have the time to themselves, to unwind. There are a number of easy-to-learn and quick tools that they can learn so that their day-to-day life is more manageable and fun.

Common conditions that are successfully treated with naturopathy are PMS, amenorrhea, menorrhagia, metrorrhagea, infertility, uterine fibroids, endometriosis, ovarian cysts, menopause, perimenaupause, thyroid conditions.

A custom treatment plan is designed for each person, and might include nutritional counselling, herbs, homeopathy, acupuncture, hydrotherapy, and lifestyle modification.

A state of the art technology called TimeWaver-med compliments this traditional approach, so as to help identify causes on physical, mental and emotional levels. The same system is then used to balance these problem areas.
