Hyperbaric oxygen therapy involves exposing the body to 100 percent oxygen at a pressure that is greater than what you normally experience. Wounds need oxygen to heal properly, and exposing a wound to 100 percent oxygen can, in many cases, speed the healing process.

Used for thousands of years in China, acupressure applies the same principles as acupuncture to aid relaxation and wellness and to treat disease.

BOTANICAL MEDICINE
Botanical medicines are effective and safe when used properly, in the right dose and in the proper combinations with other herbs or treatments.

HOMEOPATHIC MEDICINE
This powerful system of medicine is more than 200 years old, and is widely accepted in other countries (The Royal Family of England uses a homeopathic physician.). Homeopathic medicines act to strengthen the body’s innate immune response; they seldom have side effects. Some conditions that conventional medicine has no effective treatment for respond well to homeopathy.

CLINICAL NUTRITION
A growing body of scientific knowledge in this area is reflected in numerous professional journals of nutrition and dietary sciences, validating the naturopathic approach to diet and nutrition. Many medical conditions can be treated as effectively with foods and nutritional supplements as they can by any other means, but with fewer complications and side effects. Naturopathic physicians receive more than 140 classroom hours in clinical nutrition; most medical doctors receive fewer than 20 hours.
COUNSELING AND STRESS MANAGEMENT
Mental attitudes and emotional states can be important elements in healing and disease. Naturopathic physicians are trained in various psychological techniques including counseling, nutritional balancing, stress management and biofeedback.
CRANIOSACRAL THERAPY
Craniosacral therapy is a technique that releases tightened, constricted tissue. It is among the gentlest of the bodywork therapies.

Many clients get the results they need in three sessions. Others have the treatment done weekly for several months.
