Our treatments
At NATURES CLINICALS we offer herbal medicine and
naturopathic consultations. What does this mean?
Herbal Medicine
The use of plant based medicine goes back to ancient times. Herbal
medicine works by reinforcing our bodys innate well being and
reinforcing the internal functions while in turn eliminating the
pathogens and adverse symptoms. Adverse side effects are minimal
and cures are kind and considerate of the whole body. Prescriptions
are individually formulated and generally made up of 418 different
herbs. One to two weeks of a herbal formula is usually recommended
for acute symptoms such as cold or influenza. One month of herbal
treatment is recommended for each year of imbalance in treating
chronic conditions.
Naturopathy
Naturopathy is based on the idea of wholeness and natural well-being.
It combines several healing methods
to restore the natural energy flow of the body to its natural
state of good health. It is a holistic approach to health and
healing that recognizes the importance of a harmonious integration
of mind, body and spirit.. A naturopath begins with a consultation
by taking a detailed history from their patient. They ask them
about their health problems, lifestyle and diet. After diagnosis,
a naturopath gives advice on diet and nutrition, supplements,
herbal remedies, exercise and rest. They may also use practices
such as counseling to support their patients emotional well-being.
Nutrition
Nutrition provides the body with the nourishment and building
blocks to keep us healthy. Personalized dietary guidance, natural
practitioner grade supplements and nutritional education addresses
deficiencies and provides optimum wellness.
Mind, emotion and spirit medicine
The mind, emotion and spiritual nature all affect our bodily health.
We offer simple yet highly effective methods to move towards a
stress free life. These include the teaching of simple meditation
practices, breathing exercises and visualizations and the prescription
of flower essences to help you on your path to integrated wellness.

| Weight
management programmes
Being overweight is a known modifiable risk factor
for diabetes, heart disease, stroke, hypertension, osteoarthritis,
sleep apnea, breathing problems and some forms of cancer. Two-thirds
of adults living in the United States are overweight, with billions
of dollars spent annually on weight loss products and treatment
programs.
Typical diet programs treat you from the "outside in," by telling
you how many kilos to lose after weighing you. The Weight Management
programs at Natures Clinicals treat you from the "inside out,"
by evaluating how the interaction of your mind and body affects
your ability to manage your weight and your health.
We integrate the best of traditional and complementary programs
and therapies to provide you with the effective tools to make
permanent lifestyle changes, a path to true and lasting weight
loss.
Rather than highly restrictive diets, forbidden food lists and
food weighing, our program focuses on managing weight by evaluating
and treating the physical and the emotional reasons for
weight gain as well as providing full nutritional guidance,
recipes, supplements and herbs to help regain optimum weight.
At Natures Clinicals we help you lose weight and keep it off
naturally with a reduction program designed to keep you healthy
and happy long term. |

| Womens
Health
The health needs of women change throughout the
different stages of their lives; from childbearing years through
menopause and beyond. Often, women do not receive the specialized
health care they require and are offered treatments that serve
to only eliminate symptoms.
At Natures Clinicals, we believe that women need treatment that
improves physical, emotional, and spiritual health. Nutrition,
herbal remedies, and other cost-effective alternative therapies
are incorporated into custom care plans that promote breast
and gynecological health, control hormonal fluctuations, and
prevent osteoporosis, as well as other illnesses that often
affect women.
We take a special interest in fertility issues and can provide
a full fertility programme for those experiencing trouble getting
pregnant.
We can also help you deal with various topics often of interest
to women: how to deal with family problems; aging gracefully
and healthfully; sleep and fatigue problems; weight issues;
libido; skin problems; depression; menopause; and other life
changes.
Our goal of total health and well-being is reached by treating
each woman as an individual, an individual whose unique life
situation is taken into consideration when caring for her health |

health programme
