Reasons to Choose Natural Medicine

Treatment is provided by means of acupuncture, homeopathic medicine, dietary, lifestyle and hygiene recommendations while promoting your mental health. These methods provide treatment by considering the body as a whole and not just the affected part, or primary complaint. Madeleine will try to identify the cause of illness or discomfort instead of focusing on just removing the symptoms.

Many people aren’t aware of all that these forms of medicine can do. Fast-growing in popularity in North America, acupuncture is not about needles but about suitable use of the pathways in internal medicine that relate to your various ailments. As such, an acupuncture treatment strives to redress imbalances in the body. It is a key component of Chinese medicine.

Chinese Medicine

Tested over thousands of years and relied upon by a fifth of the world’s people, Chinese medicine views the human body as a network of energy systems which ideally are in harmony, not only with each other, but also with the patients’ emotional and physical environment and with the earth and its seasons. By means of acupuncture, manual techniques, diet or traditional herbal compounds, the natural flow of energy within the body can be re-established and physiological imbalances redressed. Chinese medicine continues to grow. It is equally at home in the villages of Asia, the laboratories of Japan and, increasingly, in the clinics of Europe and Americas.

Homeopathy

This system of medicine uses highly-diluted substances given most often in granule form that aim to support the body’s natural system of healing while correcting imbalances in internal medicine. A homeopathic remedy is chosen as most similar to the complete symptom picture and dynamic of the patient.

Acupuncture

Fast-growing in popularity in North America, acupuncture is not about needles but about suitable use of the pathways in internal medicine, that relate to your various ailments. As such, an acupuncture treatment considers the relatedness of functions in internal medicine. It is a key component of Chinese medicine.

Shiatsu

Shiatsu is a form of manual medicine developed in Japan in the 14th century, which works with the body not only in its structure and form, what we would call musculo-skeletal systems, but also with its energetic channel systems common to Daoist/Shinto traditions that acupuncture uses.  Thus shiatsu maintains an integral relation with internal medicine, since the localization of any injury, stiffness, muscular or joint pain most often reflect imbalances in organ function.
