About Hälsa Naturopathic Medicine

The naturopathic doctors at Hälsa Naturopathic Medicine are committed to providing you with personalized care using natural, non-toxic therapies.
​
​Focusing on the root cause of your symptoms rather than simply suppressing them can lead to long term healing and improved quality of life. Naturopathic medicine can be particularly effective in treating long standing illnesses that have been unresponsive to conventional medical interventions.

We view our patients as unique, complex individuals. Each patient’s interrelated physical, emotional, mental, genetic and spiritual characteristics are considered when creating an individualized treatment plan.

​The practice of naturopathic medicine is rooted in six fundamental principles of healing: 

First Do No Harm

​Naturopathic doctors
utilize methods and medicinal
substances which minimize the risk of
harmful side effects, using the least
invasive methods necessary to diagnose
and treat. Our doctors develop
individualized plans to meet each
patient's needs.

Identify and Treat the Causes

​The naturopathic doctor seeks to
identify and remove the underlying
causes of illness rather than to merely
eliminate or suppress symptoms. If
underlying causes are not addressed,
symptoms will return and illness will
persist.

Healing Power of Nature

​Naturopathic medicine recognizes an
inherent self-healing process in
people that is ordered and intelligent.
Naturopathic doctors act to identify
and remove obstacles to healing and
recovery, and to facilitate and augment
this inherent self-healing process.

Doctor as Teacher

​Naturopathic doctors educate their
patients and encourage
self-responsibility for health. An
important aspect of our doctors'
practice is to teach our patients to
nurture themselves - to eat well,
manage stress and strive to achieve
optimal wellness.

Treat the Whole Person

Naturopathic doctors treat each
patient by taking into account
individual physical, mental, emotional,
genetic, environmental, social, and
other factors. Since total health also
includes spiritual health, naturopathic
doctors encourage individuals to
pursue their personal spiritual
development.

Prevention

​Naturopathic doctors are proactive
in their approach and emphasize the
prevention of disease by assessing risk
factors, heredity and susceptibility to
disease.
