Personalized Programs

Svea Lynn uses an individualized plan for each person, depending on the cause of their illness and what is best for them. Naturopaths use a combination of the following therapies listed below:

Individualized Nutrition:

Individual diets and nutritional supplements are recommended to address deficiencies, heal disease processes and promote health. The benefits include more efficient gastrointestinal functioning, increased energy, improved immunity and increase general well being.

Botanical Remedies:

Botanical or Herbal Medicine is a plant-based medicine using teas, tinctures, capsules and other forms of herbal preparations to assist in the recovery from injury and disease. These substances are also used to boost the body’s immune system, prevent disease, and aid the body in its healing process.

Homeopathy:

Homeopathy is based on the universal healing principle of "like Cures like." This means that if you take a substance in nature that causes a specific, unique, diseased state in a healthy individual, that very same substance will cure another person who is ill with that diseased-state. Minute amounts of natural substances (plant, animal or mineral-based) are used to stimulate the body’s innate ability to heal, as the aim is to change the body’s energy levels that lie at the root of disease. Homeopathy is a powerful tool and affects healing on both a physical and emotional level.

Holistic Counseling:

The purpose of the holistic dialogue is to reveal the underlying cause of a person’s illness / problem. In other words, it’s to help a person see (Doctor as teacher) what their problem is and to help them see how to change it. This counseling can be very deep and extremely healing for each person.

Other Therapies:

Naturopathic medicine is so diverse and Naturopaths are highly trained professionals. As stated above, each person is helped individually, and may involve other therapies not listed above. Some of these include: traditional chinese medicine, hydrotherapy, craniosacral therapy, massage, exercise, and lifestyle modification.

First, Do No Harm: Illness is a purposeful process of the organism. The process of healing includes the generation of symptoms which are, in fact, an expression of the life force attempting to heal itself.  Naturopaths use complementary therapies to aid the body in its healing process. Any methods that are designed to suppress symptoms without removing the underlying cause of disease are considered to be harmful and are avoided by Naturopaths.

Use the Healing Power of Nature: The human body has an innate ability to heal itself, when given the proper tools. Nature medicine helps to heal the whole person, rids the body of toxins, and helps to build up the body's life force.

Identify and address the cause of illness: Illness does not occur without cause. The underlying cause of disease must be discovered and addressed in order to restore health in the body. Each time symptoms are suppressed, disease dives deeper into the body and presents as a more chronic illness later.

Heal the Whole Person: A Naturopath really works to heal the whole person, inside and out. In our modern times we see so many fad diets and generalized treatment protocols, however, this doesn't work to heal the whole person. A Naturopath's goal isn't only to help the person's symptoms, but instead, it is to bring them into a better state of health.

Doctor as Teacher: Naturopaths strive to inform and educate their clients on how to live happy and healthy lives. The goal of the Naturopath is to become obsolete - meaning their clients are constantly in a state of health. A Naturopath's major role is to educate and encourage their clients to take responsibility for their own health.

Prevention is the goal: Prevention should be the goal of any health care system... it is called HEALTH care isn't it? Medicine has gone so far today as to only treating illness and suppressing symptoms so their patients can live comfortably. Naturopathy uses the true principles of prevention by addressing a person's lifestyle, diet, belief systems, emotional traumas and more.
