Acupuncture
Acupuncture
Acupuncture Meridians
Acupuncture is the traditional Chinese medicine practice of using small needles to balance the flow of blood and energy in the body.
Acupuncture has been used for thousands of years to treat all kinds of health concerns including:
Allergy Desensitization
Allergy Desensitization
Allergies and Sensitivities can be Disabling
Anyone that suffers from allergies or sensitivities knows how much they can rule your life. One of our Edmonton Naturopaths trained in Allergy Desensitization can reprogram your body to reduce or eliminate those negative reactions.
This procedure involves the use of the Cold Laser along with other supporting Naturopathic treatments.
Many patients have discovered it to be a life changing event. Giving them more freedom from debilitating allergies and sensitivities. This program requires a series of visits to our Edmonton Naturopath over several months.
Bowen Therapy
Bowen Therapy
A gentle muscle manipulation technique used by an Edmonton Naturopath to stimulate your body, allowing it to reset and heal. It offers relief from a variety of musculoskeletal concerns while also being very good for general relaxation and stress relief.
Just some of the many conditions a Naturopath addresses with Bowen Therapy include:
Clinical Nutrition
Clinical Nutrition
Healthy eating is important part of Clinical Nutrition
A proper diet provides a solid foundation for building superior health. Therefore, it is the cornerstone of Naturopathic Medicine.
If you have a poor diet, you are simply more prone to illness and disease. It can also affect your moods, even contribute to depression.
To assist you, a Naturopath can recommend a specific personal program that may include special diets, and nutritional or other supplements. Many patients of our Naturopathic Clinic have their diets adjusted by one of our Edmonton Naturopaths.
Cold Laser Therapy
Low-Level Cold Laser
Cold Laser Therapy
When the body is injured, the damaged cells fail to function optimally. The Naturopath uses a noninvasive, low-level cold laser to deeply penetrate your skin and help restore normal cellular function.
The physiologic effects include improved metabolism, circulation, and tissue healing. Laser therapy may be used by the Naturopath in treating a variety of health conditions including:
Contact Regulatory Thermography
Contact Regulatory Thermography
Contact Regulatory Thermography (CRT) is a non-invasive way to detect internal metabolic changes in your organs that may indicate poor function or the very early presence of disease even before other symptoms begin to show. A very sensitive probe is used to take over a hundred very accurate computer controlled temperature readings on the surface of your skin.
These various skin contact points correspond to particular organs. When your body is under stress organs behave differently which results in small physiological changes in temperature at different contact points. We take two sets of temperature readings. One to establish a base line and another following a 10 minute cooling down period which provides a gentle form of stress on your body.
It is very safe, as only a thermal probe touches you, and can be used for people of all ages including children.
It is a very good tool that provides your Naturopathic Doctor with diagnostic information on:
Detoxification & Biotherapeutic Drainage
Detoxification & Biotherapeutic Drainage
Detoxification is used to help support the body in getting rid of toxins and to help it reset. In your day to day life you can be exposed to a number of chemicals in the foods you eat, the air you breathe, and the products you use.
There are different ways we can assist you to detoxify your body of these toxins. Some work by helping the body’s organs, like the bowels and kidneys, eliminate waste and work more efficiently. This is what people traditionally mean when they talk about doing a cleanse.
Detoxification Cleanse
There are different intensities of cleanses depending on the desired outcome. It can be as simple as eating clean, or doing a diet where you are first eliminating a number of foods and then start reintroducing foods back in later. This diet may also require a meal supplement to insure you receive enough calories and to provide vitamins and minerals to support your body and its organs during the cleansing period. Your Naturopathic Doctor may also recommend other natural supplements to support this process.
Biotherapeutic Drainage
Biotherapeutic Drainage
Then there is Biotherapeutic drainage which works on a very deep cellular level to detoxify your body. It helps the cells release toxin into the blood and lymph then uses different organs, like the liver, bowels, kidney, and bladder to move it outside of your body. It can be an extremely effective treatment. It does take longer for most people but its detoxification effects reach much further and can open a gateway to a higher level of wellness when combined with proper health maintenance.
EB Pro Ionic Foot Bath cellular cleanse
Ionic Foot Bath Cellular Cleanse Detoxification
The final approach is the EB Pro Ionic Cellular Cleanse Foot Bath, it also works on a cellular level to detoxify your body by reducing its bio-load and helping to restore proper PH and electromagnetic energy. Its an alternative medicine treatment that can be combined with Detoxification and Biotherapeutic drainage or play a key role in regular health maintenance by helping to keep your bio-load at lower levels. It’s particularly useful to people that find it difficult to integrate other methods, like the traditional cleanse, into their busy lives. The EB Pro Ionic Foot Bath is from the same company that made our Cold Laser that we use in the Clinic. Please visit the EB Pro Ionic Footbath page for additional information and treatment costs.
Detoxification Summary
All of these approaches detoxify your body and help optimize how the cells work to improve the immune system, energy levels, and can help with weight loss. The approach you take should be discussed with a Naturopath in our Edmonton Clinic. All of us are different and need different solutions, or a combination of solutions, to solve the puzzle of detoxification of our body.
Just a few of the many conditions that detoxification can help you with are:
Homeopathic Medicine
Homeopathic Medicine
Taking Homeopathic Pellets
Homeopathic Medicine is a form of alternative medicine based on the principle that “like cures like”, which means that a substance that can cause certain symptoms in a healthy person can also help cure similar symptoms in an unhealthy person.
One of the Edmonton Naturopaths in our Clinic recommends a diluted dose of natural substance to stimulate the healing process based on your unique symptoms. The treatment may be by tablet, pellet, or liquid depending on the substance.
Intravenous (IV) Therapies

Intravenous (IV) therapies can also play a major role in reinforcing the recovery process following major illnesses and surgeries.
We have several different formulations and types of injection therapies. Some of the popular ones that we give patients at the clinic include 2 intravenous and 1 intramuscular injection:
Lifestyle Counseling

Lifestyle counseling is to help you identify specific parts of your daily life that may contribute to ill health or illness. By identifying behaviours or environmental threats to your wellness, the Naturopath can suggest corrective actions to help reduce your risk factors.
Reducing those factors, helps make other treatments more effective. This increases your chances of overcoming illness and discovering more optimal health. The review explores the risk factors posed by different areas of your life including:
Natural Supplements

They are specifically chosen by one of our Edmonton Naturopaths as they meet exact professional standards. We make them available as a service to our patients at very reasonable and competitive prices.
Supplements purchased elsewhere, such as drugstore or warehouses type businesses, may not contain the same dosage, purity, or provide the same therapeutic value. Which may affect your results. We always want you to have access to products you can trust.
These should always be taken under the supervision of the Naturopathic Doctor. You want to prevent any negative reactions with existing medications. Its is also extremely important to be sure any supplements won’t aggravate any current health condition. You must safeguard your health.
Travel Health

Travel can test your immune system and stamina
Getting sick while traveling is a sure way to ruin a holiday or important business trip. If you plan to fly, just sitting on a plane for many hours with your newest 100 or more friends exposes you to more than just jet lag. It can be a workout for even the strongest immune system.
