We can provide individual nutrients to aide in relief and prevention from disease through supplementation. We will determine exactly what you need and provide you with a range of foods and supplements that your body needs to optimally function.

Many pharmaceuticals are derived from plants, and although Naturopathic doctors do not give pharmaceuticals per se they often combine different botanical herbs to produce formulas that can be used to treat many complaints. These researched botanicals have many different nutritional capacities as well as unique healing properties and energies. They use the flowers, roots, leaves and oils to make tinctures, decoctions, teas, lotions, creams and salves among other preparations.
Vitamin infusions are used to as an effective way to replenish certain vitamins and minerals. They are ideal for those who have digestive issues that prevent absorption, or for preventative reasons for certain conditions. Infusions are generally safe, but those with cardiovascular, liver, or kidney issues may not be eligible for a treatment.
Vitamin injections are for those looking to optimize their nutrient levels and reduce symptoms quickly. These intramuscular (IM) injections are absorbed from the muscle into the bloodstream at a higher absorption rate than oral supplements passing through the digestive tract.
