What is It?

Naturopathic medicine is a distinct system of healthcare that combines healing traditions from many different cultures with the latest research in natural medicine. It is focused on prevention by assessing a person’s lifestyle, diet, environment and other factors that affect health.
Its uniqueness is that it looks for the cause of illness rather than simply treating symptoms. The natural treatments prescribed by your naturopathic doctor (ND) will be specific to you and will act to facilitate your body’s innate ability to heal itself.

As well as being effective for treating disease, naturopathic medicine can be used to increase wellness in healthy people. Sometimes people that feel they are healthy are actually functioning at a sub-optimal level. Can you recall a time when you had more energy, mental clarity, or vitality? A naturopathic doctor will help you make the necessary changes to achieve optimal wellness.

Therapies
 NDs are the only primary care doctors that specialize in a wide variety of natural therapeutics. The treatments are based on scientific research or historical evidence for the effective treatment of disease, preventative medicine, and achieving optimal health. The therapies may include:
Intravenous Therapy
The administration of vitamins and minerals into the bloodstream in high concentrations to rapidly aid cellular healing. The advantage of intravenous (I.V.) therapy vs. oral doses of vitamins is that the nutrients bypass the stomach and get directly to the cells. This can be effective for: integrated cancer care (high dose vitamin C therapy), fatigue, immune boosting, allergies, macular degeneration, depression, Parkinson's disease, detoxification, migraines, tissue and wound healing, chronic diseases, malnutrition and other conditions. It can even be used periodically in healthy people and athletes to enhance overall well-being. Intravenous vitamin therapy has been used safely for over 25 years, however it is only one treatment option.

Note: Dr. Korah, ND is one of the only naturopathic doctors in Eastern Ontario with advanced training and certification to perform intravenous therapy.

One of the most common conditions women experience during their first trimester of their pregnancy is nausea and vomiting and although it is quite normal, it can cause women a lot of stress and fatigue as well as a loss of a lot of nutrients and fluids.

The cause isn’t fully understood. However, it’s mainly due to the increase – the exponential increase of hormones experienced during this time, mainly HCG, estrogen, and progesterone. These hormones have effects on all other cells in the body as well which can cause some of these gastrointestinal symptoms women feel.

Although nausea can be very frustrating and tiring for women, there are a lot of treatment options to help. Simple things like changing your diet and your lifestyle can make a huge impact, like having regular exercise or ensuring that there’s always food in your stomach. Having an empty stomach can actually make the nauseating symptoms much more severe. So keeping a snack in your purse or in your car will help alleviate some of these symptoms.

Dehydration is common in women with increased nausea and vomiting so it’s really important to find ways to replenish fluid in the body. If you’re not able to keep water down or have trouble taking in water, intravenous vitamin therapy is a great alternative.

With this treatment, your naturopathic doctor can also infuse vitamins directly into your blood stream. Vitamins such as B6 and B12 will help decrease the nauseous feeling as well as increase energy throughout your pregnancy. Again, it depends on the patient. And we often will design very specific treatment plans in terms of supplements and dietary change to help with these symptoms.  Lab tests, of course, play a big role in diagnosing digestive issues. So, we would look at systemic levels of inflammation. We can also measure hydrogen and methane on the breath to determine if there are any microorganisms contributing to these symptoms.  If you’re experiencing digestive issues of any kind and you’d like to learn more about what’s causing these symptoms, see your local naturopathic doctor.
