Food

Food is fuel for living. It is a material consisting of carbohydrates, fats, protein and other substances (vitamins, minerals and enzymes) that are essential to keep our bodies healthy and strong.

Nutrition

The science of food, and the processes by which we ingest, digest, absorb, transport, utilize and excrete food substances.

Enzymes

Enzymes are a large class of protein substances that are produced by living cells.  They run the biochemical reactions in living things including humans, animals and plants.  Besides performing biochemical reactions in your body, enzymes digest food and act to allow a healthy inflammatory response.

 

Some signs presented by a body that needs supplemental plant enzymes are indigestion, fever, redness, swelling, pain and muscle contraction.  When your diet is lacking raw foods and fresh fruits and vegetables, take enzymes to supplement your nutritional needs and assist in digesting your diet.

Essential Oils

Essential oils are naturally occurring compounds found in the seeds, roots, flowers and others parts of plants. They are highly concentrated when distilled for purity and potency. Aromatherapy is the specific use of the natural fragrances of the essential oils from aromatic plants to enhance physical, mental and emotional well being.

The chemistry of an essential oil is very complex and may consist of hundreds of different and unique chemical compounds. The ability of essential oils to act on both the mind and the body is what makes them truly unique among natural therapeutic substances.

Pure, natural essentials oils are an amazing way to improve your mood and add fragrance to your home. Essential oils can be use for mental clarity, relaxation and sleep, stress relief and immune support. Some essential oils that are use by many people are Eucalyptus, Frankincense, Lavender, Peppermint, Tea Tree (Melaleuca), Rosemary and Clove.

Naturopathy

Naturopathy emphasizes the importance of careful prevention, rather that desperate treatment. The roots of naturopathy go back many years, and since ancient times, people have used the benefits of nature to maintain health. The body is designed to heal itself, but its natural processes will do this only if it is provided with a suitable environment.

A traditional, classical naturopath specializes in wellness. We do not diagnose or treat disease. Traditional Naturopaths guide and teach clients in natural health approaches such as dietary improvements, the use of nutritional supplements, herbs, exercise, rest, sunshine, aromatherapy and other natural health modalities.

Our body tells us early on when there is a problem. We can respond to this message or try to suppress the symptoms that the body uses to tell us that there is a problem. Naturopathy concentrates on identifying destructive aspects in lifestyles that lead to imbalances. In naturopathy, we teach clients how to apply natural lifestyle approaches that can act to facilitate the body’s healing and health building potential.
