Naturopathic medicine employs nutritional, botanical and homeopathic medicines to re-establish health by stimulating the immune system and detoxification pathways, by directly fighting infections, or by promoting specific hormone or neurotransmitter synthesis. These interventions can be used effectively for chronic conditions such as arthritis, allergies, depression, anxiety, diabetes, chronic fatigue, digestive problems, autoimmune disorders, cardiovascular disease, menopausal symptoms, menstrual problems, and cancer. In some cases they are best used in conjunction with conventional medications. Maureen has clinic hours Wednesday through Friday at the CCHC.
