Naturopath: Nature of the Pathology
Naturopathic Doctors are primary health care providers who can assess, and diagnose acute and chronic health conditions. They then provide treatment recommendations based on the root cause of disease. Naturopathic Doctors commonly prescribe Natural Medicines, however they are also trained in pharmaceuticals, and drug-interactions, so working with an ND is very safe. Here are some of the many tools Naturopathic Doctors use:
- Acupuncture & Asian Medicine
- Botanical/Herbal (Plant Based) Medicine
- Homeopathy
- Clinical Nutrition
- Lifestyle Counselling
- Physical Medicine: spinal manipulation, hydrotherapy, cupping
Dr. Ashley Nelson has a focus in Integrative Mental Health. This goes beyond substituting a natural health product in for a pharmaceutical, and looks to find the right balance for the individual. This can mean different things for different people. Here are a few examples
- Reducing or weening off of psychiatric medications
- Managing the side effects of psychiatric medications, and restoring nutrient depletion's
- Education on how to use natural medicines safely
- Improving overall health, and reducing risks for other disease associated with mental health issues
Integrative Mental Health is effective, evidence based, and empowering.
