Botanical Medicine

Phytotherapy or plant medicines are used as teas, tinctures, poultices and capsules. Medicinal plants are safe and effective for enhancing the immune system and treating illnesses. 


Hydrotherapy

Constitutional hydrotherapy uses sine wave and hot/cold water to facilitate healing.  It increases circulation, blood flow, organ function and immune response.  It treats infection, inflammation, and is vital for cleansing.


Homeopathy

Homeopathy is a safe treatment option for acute and chronic illness.  Homeopathy helps your body start the healing process with a "like cures like" approach, a similimum.  A Naturopath takes characteristics specific to each patient to find their correct remedy.


Clinical Nutrition

Nutrition consultations. We correct deficiencies and malnutrition by applying "food as medicine" as well as pharmaceutical grade supplements to provide balance and optimal health.  We teach better ways to eat for weight loss management and metabolic efficiency.


Innovative Laboratory Testing

Conventional and specialized testing provides
us with valuable information on our patient's. 
We offer food allergy, heavy metal,
gastrointestinal function testing and other specialized tests.

Vitamin D and Kids Blog

by Dr. Miki Finlayson, Naturopathic Doctor on 05/01/12

Vitamin D Blog:

Article: Archive of Pediatrics  & Adolescent Medicine. Online before print. doi:10.1001/archpediatrics.2012.5[March 5, 2012].

Once again the importance of vitamin D is highlighted.   I often tell parents, and adults for that matter the importance of vitamin D.    Study after study confirms that daily intake in the standard American is low, and most benefit from dietary supplementation of Vitamin D.

The short summary of this study shows the more the intake of vitamin D based on dietary questionnaires in girls with high impact activity showed less incidence of stress fractures risk. 

It is usually easy to convince mothers that calcium and/or diary intake is important to the health of a growing child.    This study did not show the same stress fracture risk reduction for calcium or dairy. 

Be active, get plenty of protected sun exposure, and find out the healthy dose of vitamin D for you and your child by having your blood vitamin D levels tested.
