    Homeopathic Medicine

    Homeopathy is one of the safest types of medicine. It can be used in pregnancy and lactation, and for infants. Despite how gentle it is, it is also highly effective for treating very serious illnesses. Homeopathic medicine stimulates your body's natural ability to heal. Rather than suppressing your symptoms like most conventional treatments, homeopathy helps to restore health naturally, by working with your body's innate healing mechanisms.

    Homeopathic remedies are made from natural substances, such as plants and minerals. During the preparation process, the original substance is made into a solution which is diluted multiple times. For commercial production, small sweet-tasting pellets are coated with these highly diluted solutions to give them medicinal value as homeopathic remedies.

    Homeopathy is one of the most controversial types of medicine, because most scientists do not immediately understand how it could possibly work. There is limited funding for homeopathic research compared with conventional drugs, and many of the research studies have been done poorly, which leads to inconsistent results. If you look deeper into the research that has been done well, you will see that there is something happening on a physiological level that has surprised many of the researchers who originally were skeptics. 

    Homeopathic medicines have been shown to be effective in cell cultures, animals, and infants, as well as placebo-controlled trials, showing that it's more than just placebo effect.

    Acupuncture

    Acupuncture is a safe and effective healing treatment used for both body and mind. ​Practiced since ancient times and supported by decades of research, acupuncture is used on both children and adults. 

    Most of the time it feels gentle and relaxing. Most people feel a tiny pinch or mild ache at first, and then the sensation goes away within a few seconds. It's common to feel calm and sleepy both during and after your session.

    Chinese medicine takes in a holistic view of the body, such as checking your pulse, looking at your tongue, asking about your diet/exercise, etc. to develop a unique treatment plan to promote optimal balance.

    Acupuncture can treat many conditions, such as fatigue, anxiety, insomnia, depression, hormone imbalances, or pain.

    Acupuncture sessions are commonly done every 1-2 weeks, but some people will do them more or less often, depending on the intensity of the symptoms being addressed. Your doctor can tell you how often would be appropriate for you to have your acupuncture sessions.

    Acupuncture is often paired with herbal medicine for a more complete and powerful benefit.

    Biofrequency Rife

    What is rife technology? In the early 1930's, a scientist named Royal Rife invented what's known today as the Rife machine. Using bio-frequency to identify the vibration of certain ailments, illnesses, or conditions, the Rife machine has been used all over the world as bio-resonance treatment. Healthy cells are not impacted, while sick or "low vibrational cells" would reportedly regenerate faster when using the Rife machine. Many have stated that through using the Rife machine, they were able to explode various viruses, bacteria, fungi, parasites, tumors, and calcium deposits. The healing power of frequency is an ancient and powerful way of approaching disease and is used well on its own or as a complementary therapy.

    People often use rife treatments for chronic infections such as lyme or viral infections, pain, or mental health concerns like anxiety or depression.

  • Nutritional Medicine

    Naturopathic physicians are experts in helping you understand how your food can be your medicine.

    For people with mental health concerns, regularly scheduled meals that are rich in nutrients can significantly improve mood stability. This is key for understanding how to take control of your health and feel empowered to make good decisions that help you feel better.

    There is a strong link between the quality of the food we consume and the health and wellness of our body and brain. If we eat foods that are highly processed or low in nutritional value, our body will be likely to have increased levels of inflammation and poor cellular function.

    Naturopathic doctors can also help uncover individual food sensitivities or gut microbiome imbalances that might be contributing to your symptoms. There is a validated, scientifically researched connection between the gut and the brain, and proper nutrition is key in working to improve your physical and mental health.

  • Medication Management

    Many of our patients have a need or desire to take conventional medications because of the severity of their symptoms. In cases of schizophrenia, schizoaffective disorder, bipolar I disorder, or any condition that has high risk symptoms, we encourage our patients to use the best of both worlds of medicine for optimal outcomes.

    Naturopathic doctors in Arizona are licensed to manage many prescription medications. With regard to prescriptions for mental health, we can prescribe and manage antidepressants, mood stabilizers, anxiety medications, and sleep medications, non-stimulant ADHD medications. We cannot prescribe antipsychotic meds or stimulant ADHD medications, so if you are taking these medications, we will collaborate with a practitioner who can prescribe them for you.

    We want our patients to have the greatest quality of life and success in achieving their health goals. Sometimes the right medication is a part of that journey. As naturopathic doctors, we are always looking to use the minimum effective dose of any medication in order to provide the best outcomes with the least side effects. Homeopathic and natural remedies can also often reduce medication side effects, so combining these therapies is often an excellent option.
