Infections + Immune System Support

When you’re sick and tired of feeling sick and tired.

A robust immune system can protect you from severe illness, but for most of us, the greatest benefit of a healthy immunity is prevention of the routine: colds and flus that cost us in productivity, missed family time and quality of life.

Similar to conventional medicine, naturopathic medicine incorporates many anti-bacterial and anti-viral treatments directed at “germ killing”. Our approach, however, has the added benefit of not promoting resistance to conventional antibiotics (so if you ever need them, they will be effective), addressing factors that may be interfering with body’s own ability to resist infection, and actually increasing strength and effectiveness of your own immune system response.

Below are included some of the common conditions that we treat.

Please feel free to contact us to discuss any questions you may have about our treatment of these, or any issue related to your personal health and well-being.
