WHAT IS NATUROPATHIC MEDICINE?

Naturopathic Medicine is a distinct primary health care system that blends modern scientific knowledge with traditional and natural forms of medicine. Everyone can benefit from naturopathic medicine. From health promotion to disease prevention, it offers treatments for both acute and chronic conditions, for individuals of all ages.

IV THERAPY/INJECTIONS

IV therapy involves infusing vitamins and minerals directly into the bloodstream. Administering the nutrients intravenously can achieve serum concentrations higher than what can be obtained through oral supplementation.

Many people can benefit from IV therapy, and treatments can be tailored to the individual. IVs can support patients looking to boost their mood, immune system, or energy levels.

Some examples of nutrients used in IV therapy: Vitamin C, B complex, B5, B6, B12, selenium, manganese, calcium, magnesium.

Intramuscular B12 injections can be a tool to optimize your B12 levels, or correct deficiency.
