Naturopathic/Integrative Medicine
Take a Healthy, Natural Approach
to Personal Wellness
Naturopathic medicine is a special discipline that seeks to treat the whole person. It offers remedies and solutions for the mind, body and spirit. Rather than merely eliminating symptoms, naturopathic or integrative medicine looks for the root causes of a condition or an illness and utilizes a variety of effective therapies for healing purposes.
In naturopathy, there can often be several different areas of the body that need attention for what appears to be one singular ailment. For instance, the naturopathic doctors at Concierge IV Nutrition inquire about a number of the patient’s predispositions, from health history, to lifestyle habits and degrees of stress, to name a few. Blood is frequently checked in lab tests to seek further insight.
History of Naturopathy
Though it has gained a tremendous following in recent years, naturopathic medicine has been around for many years. It came over to the United States from Germany in the late 1800’s but, centuries before, none other than Hippocrates, the “Greek Father of Medicine”, was a naturopathic practitioner.
Holistic medicine received a tremendous boost in the 1970s as people began thinking creatively and looking for viable options to the structured model of traditional medicine. Naturopathy opened their eyes to the correlation of each part of the body to the other… the idea that the body is a complex, integrated system that must be maintained in its entirety to ensure peak performance and longevity.
