How we can help you

Naturopathy is a holistic approach to healthcare that focuses on identifying and addressing the root causes of health issues rather than merely treating symptoms. It can be beneficial for a wide range of health concerns and conditions. Some of the issues that naturopathy is often considered good for include:

Digestive Disorders: Naturopathy can help with conditions like irritable bowel syndrome (IBS), constipation, indigestion, and acid reflux by addressing dietary imbalances, gut health, and food sensitivities.

Stress and Mental Health: Naturopathy emphasizes the connection between the mind and body. It can provide support for managing stress, anxiety, depression, and other mental health issues through techniques such as mindfulness, dietary adjustments, and herbal remedies.

Chronic Pain: Naturopathic treatments like acupuncture, herbal medicine, and dietary changes can contribute to the management of chronic pain conditions like arthritis, fibromyalgia, and migraines.

Hormonal Imbalances: Naturopathic approaches can help regulate hormonal imbalances in conditions such as polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS), menopause, and thyroid disorders.

Allergies: Naturopathy can address allergies and sensitivities by focusing on strengthening the immune system, identifying triggers, and supporting the body's natural responses.

Skin Conditions: Naturopathy may assist in managing skin conditions like eczema, acne, and psoriasis by considering underlying causes such as inflammation, diet, and detoxification

Immune System Support: Naturopathy can help boost the immune system's function, enhancing its ability to defend against infections and illnesses.

Weight Management: Naturopathic strategies for weight management often involve personalized dietary plans, lifestyle adjustments, and addressing factors that may contribute to weight gain, such as hormonal imbalances or gut health.

Chronic Fatigue: Naturopathy addresses the underlying factors contributing to chronic fatigue syndrome and can offer personalized treatment plans for managing energy levels.

Insomnia: Naturopathic approaches to sleep disorders often involve lifestyle changes, relaxation techniques, and herbal remedies.

Naturopathy services are covered by most extended health benefits plans.

How does it work

At Demiana Medical Wellness Clinic, our Naturopathic Doctors (NDs) employ a comprehensive blend of conventional and naturopathic diagnostic tools to delve into your health concerns and develop personalized treatment strategies. Our diagnostic arsenal includes:

Thorough Health History

During an initial intake session lasting around 1½ hours, we meticulously gather your health history. This first encounter often involves a medical detective approach, unveiling underlying causes and obstacles hindering your healing journey – an enlightening experience for many of our patients.

Physical Examination

Our skilled NDs conduct thorough physical examinations, an integral part of your initial appointment.

Comprehensive Laboratory Testing

We employ laboratory testing, encompassing urine analysis, blood work, and saliva tests if appropriate. These diagnostics provide invaluable insights into your health and contribute to identifying the root causes of your concerns.

Tailored Treatment

Our NDs employ a diverse range of therapies targeting your physical, mental, and emotional well-being. Combining modalities enhances the body's healing response. While we embrace various approaches, our emphasis at Demiana Medical Wellness Clinic lies in fostering transformative diet and lifestyle changes.

Clinical Nutrition

Recognizing the link between medical conditions and factors like food intolerances, deficiencies, dietary imbalances, and gut health, our NDs closely examine your digestion and dietary habits.

Botanical Medicine

The efficacy and safety of medicinal plants are harnessed through botanical medicine. Our NDs are well-versed in the science of botanical medicine and can prepare herbs in forms such as teas, tinctures, or capsules, ensuring optimal results in conjunction with other treatments.

Educational Foundation

In accordance with the regulated health professions act, our NDs have completed rigorous training. Graduating from accredited institutions and adhering to provincial standards, our NDs are highly qualified professionals. Most NDs, including ours, graduate from esteemed institutions such as the Canadian College of Naturopathic Medicine (CCNM) and are directly regulated by organizations like the College of Naturopaths Ontario (CONO). Their four-year medical training program necessitates prior undergraduate education, including fundamental pre-med courses.
