Naturopathic Medicine
Better Health, Naturally
Naturopathic physicians believe that the body has an innate capacity to heal itself.
Naturopathic doctors at National Integrated Health Associates (NIHA) blend integrative medicine with natural therapies, treating each person holistically, and tapping a person’s own internal resources to improve health and treat illness.
Naturopathy uses a blend of different pharmaceutical and natural therapies in order to restore the body’s health in the most natural, non-invasive way possible by stimulating the body’s own healing power. Naturopathic medicine is a distinct system of primary health care. It is an art, science, and practice of preventing, diagnosing and treating conditions of the human mind and body.

Do the Holidays Make You Sick?
Yes, for most people they do. If they don’t get you with all of the sugary desserts, exposure to the germs of your friends and family, and the cold weather, they’ll get you with the stress of planning and traveling! Not to mention the financial stress many people face at this time of year. While the promise of a new year offers some people hope and inspiration, it offers some an excuse to drink too much, a reason to feel lonely and a pass for gluttony. No, the Grinch is not writing this article – but I offer some advice on how to make this year’s festivities come without consequence.
Natural Remedies for Common Ailments
Many people are looking for healthier options to common problems that may be as as effective as pharmaceuticals but not have side effects, and may resolve the underlying cause of the health challenge. The following natural remedies are what I use in my naturopathic practice at National Integrated Health Associates (NIHA) with great success. While these are generally very safe in small dosages, as with any herbal or homeopathic or medication you should first consult your naturopathic physician before using these recommendations. While natural medicine’s efficacy lends itself to both the expertise of the doctor and the commitment of the patient to take care of themselves, many natural remedies are quite effective in time of acute need.
