What is Naturopathic Medicine?

Founded upon a holistic philosophy, naturopathic medicine combines safe and effective traditional therapies with the most current advances in modern medicine. Naturopathic medicine is appropriate for the management of a broad range of health conditions affecting all people of all ages.

Naturopathic physicians (N.D.s) are the highest trained practitioners in the broadest scope of naturopathic medical modalities. In addition to the basic medical sciences and conventional diagnostics, naturopathic education includes therapeutic nutrition, botanical medicine, homeopathy, natural childbirth, classical Chinese medicine, hydrotherapy, naturopathic manipulative therapy, pharmacology and minor surgery.

Facial Acupuncture:

Purpose of Treatment : The purpose of the treatment is to resolve your complaint, i.e. the reason that you are seeking treatment. Acupuncture is a health care service that is based on an Oriental medical theory. Diagnosis and treatment, based on these theories, are used to promote health and treat organic or functional disorders.

Benefit of Treatment : Acupuncture and Oriental Medicine procedures have been used effectively to treat disease for hundreds of years. The World Health organization lists 40 conditions, which may effectively be treated by Chinese medical methods. These include muscular-skeletal injuries, digestive disorders, respiratory diseases, women’s health issues, etc. Facial acupuncture has been found to reduce bags under the eyes, sagging jowls, fine lines, double chins, drooping eyelids, facial puffiness and discoloration of the skin. It has also been helpful in improving facial muscle tone, increasing skin’s moisture, and increasing collagen production. Dr. Holman cannot guarantee the outcome of any course of treatment.
