Botanical Medicine

Botanical or herbal medicine differs from pharmaceutical drugs by using the whole plant extract. When the plant is used in its’ entirety this allows the substance to be safer because there are compounds within the plant that buffer the main medicinal element. The other important point is that your body has been exposed to these herbs via genetics. Therefore your DNA does not perceive these herbal medicines as toxic to the body unlike pharmaceutical drugs

Classical Homeopathy

Classical Homeopathy is based on the philosophy that the cure of the sick is most easily, mildly and permanently affected by medicines that are themselves capable of producing in the healthy person morbid symptoms similar to those of the sick. The medicines used to treat patients may be given in a microdose, just sufficient to cure.

Digestive Health Treatment

Digestive disorders range from mild to severe and from acute to chronic. Before any treatment can be effective, it is essential that a correct diagnosis is made. At Hunt Naturopathic Clinic, digestive disorders are first diagnosed via stool analysis. (click here to read more.) They are then treated based on stool test results.

Menopause

Menopause brings various symptoms linked to hormonal changes, primarily due to decreased estrogen levels. Vaginal dryness results from reduced estrogen and testosterone, affecting tissue health, while skin loses elasticity, which some address with estrogen therapy balanced by progesterone. Estrogen deficiency also impacts sleep, as night sweats disrupt rest, with oral progesterone often improving sleep quality. Cognitive issues like concentration lapses and foggy thinking may arise as estrogen is essential for glucose transport to brain cells, while imbalances in cortisol and testosterone can impair memory. Bioidentical Hormone Replacement Therapy (BHRT), which uses hormones identical to those produced in the body, may help address these symptoms based on diagnostic salivary tests.

IV and Oral Chelation

EDTA Chelation Therapy is a form of treatment aimed at reducing calcium deposits, removing the heavy metals that inhibit enzyme systems, controlling lipid peroxidation, and reducing platelet “stickiness” in the clinical management of atherosclerosis and related disorders. EDTA chelation therapy is also used in the treatment of heavy metal intoxications, hypercalcemia, and the control of ventricular arrhythmias secondary to digitalis intoxication.

Nutritional IV

Intravenous delivery of vitamins and mineral directly into the blood stream can provide nutrients in a concentrated dose without concerns of absorption.

Candida

Chronic exposure to Candida, especially when the yeast has colonized directly on or has become invasive into the mucosa tissues, can result in the elevation of antibodies in the blood. This anti-candida antibody and antigen evaluation is a screening test for candida Infection.

Spinal Manipulation

Spinal Manipulation is the sue of the hands to apply a controlled force to a joint in the spine. The goal of treatment is to relieve pain and improve physical functioning.

Therapeutic Nutrition

Therapeutic Nutrition is the provision of nutrients to maintain and/or restore optimal nutrition and health. Many conditions may require nutrition therapy for improved outcomes such as celiac disease.

Vitamin and Mineral Therapy

A vitamin as an organic molecule that is an essential micronutrient that an organism needs in small quantities for the proper functioning of its metabolism. Essential nutrients cannot be synthesized in the organism, either at all or not in sufficient quantities and therefore must be obtained through the diet or supplementation.
