What is Naturopathic Medicine? What is Biological Medicine and Drainage?
Naturopathic medicine is a distinct primary health care system that blends modern scientific knowledge with traditional and natural forms of medicine. The naturopathic philosophy is to stimulate the healing power of the body and treat the underlying cause of disease.
Biological Medicine and Drainage Philosophy: A Paradigm Shift in Healing
The bio-therapeutic drainage philosophy offers a profound shift in how we approach chronic illness. It goes beyond surface-level symptom management to address the deeper underlying causes of disease:
- Holistic Framework: Drainage emphasizes the importance of supporting the body’s natural detoxification and elimination processes. It leverages the principles of emunctorology (elimination from the body) and miasm (predispositions to disease) to restore balance and promote healing.
- Energetic Medicine: Often described as the quantum physics of medicine, drainage addresses not just physical ailments but also the energetic and emotional aspects of health, leading to more comprehensive healing.
The modalities we use in naturopathic / biological medicine to aid in patient treatment:
Acupuncture
- Botanicals (phytogens, gemmotherapeutic remedies)
- Homeopathy and flower essences
- Nutritional Medicine
Lifestyle and hydrotherapy
Physical medicine
What can patients expect?
Patients can expect to have a thorough intake discussion with the doctor, to have their stories heard, and to ask questions. The doctor and the patient are a team working towards the resolution of the patient’s health concerns. After obtaining all the relevant details about the patient’s main concern, health history, and family history, the naturopathic doctor will perform some in-office diagnostic testing (BIA, NervExpress), and decide if and what kind of additional testing must be performed in order to elucidate the root cause of the problem.
After receiving the test results, the naturopathic doctor will devise a treatment plan that is best suited to address the patient’s concern.
