Healing Cedar Wellness Naturopathic Medicine Services

Naturopathic Medicine is a primary healthcare profession that focuses on treating the underlying cause of disease and illness through supporting the body’s self-healing capabilities. Treatment plans encompass a blend of modern scientific research and traditional forms of healing that are individualized to reach each patient’s health goals.

Clinical Nutrition: Nutritional supplementation is used in capsule, tablet or injection form to treat underlying nutritional deficiencies, support the immune system and prevent the progression of disease.

Botanical Medicine: Both western and Chinese herbs are used in the form of teas, capsules, tablets, tinctures and topical preparations.

Lifestyle Counselling: Diet, exercise, sleep and stress management are addressed to promote sustainable health and longevity.

Acupuncture: Specific acupuncture points are selected to help re-establish balance in the body and promote healing.

Allergy Desensitization: Allergen solution is given under the tongue through a series of treatments to improve allergic symptoms by reducing the body’s sensitivity to the allergen.

Detoxification: The skin, liver, lungs, kidneys and digestive tract are the main organs of elimination. A combination of infared sauna sessions, dietary support and botanical and nutritional supplementation is used to increase sweating, improve circulation, optimize bowel movements and enhance liver function. 

Homeopathy: Based on the theory of 'like cures like,' a patient's symptoms are matched to a homeopathic remedy. Pellets or liquid solutions containing highly diluted substances are given based on the totality of symptoms.

Physical Medicine: Musculoskeletal disorders are treated with osseous manipulation, soft tissue techniques and therapeutic exercise.
​
Injection Therapies:  Intramuscular (IM) and intravenous (IV) injections of high dose vitamins and minerals can be individualized based on patient needs. Bio-availability and absorption are greatly increased compared to oral supplementation.

Bioidentical Hormones: Structurally identical to hormones produced naturally by the human body, bioidentical hormones are a safer alternative to the synthetically modified hormones that have been used in the past with Hormone Replacement Therapy (HRT).

Prescriptive Medicines: In 2010, the BC government granted NDs prescriptive drug rights. Dr. Owens chooses to prescribe pharmaceutical medicines when required.

Neural therapy/Biopuncture: The use of 1% procaine and plant-based ultra-low dilution products, which are injected into specific body regions to relieve pain and inflammation.
