Do you suffer from chronic sinus infections or throat infections? Seasonal allergies? Are you prone to getting bronchitis, colds and flus? Do your kids consistently get ear infections? Fevers? If so, you and your children can significantly benefit from a Naturopathic Approach to immune support.
Naturopathic Doctors take a holistic and grass root approach to determining the reasons why your body may be susceptible to chronic and recurrent infections. Some factors that impact your immune system include:
After a comprehensive health intake and physical exam other appropriate tests may be recommended such as a blood test, saliva test or food sensitivity test. Since 70% of the immune system originates in the gut, special emphasis is placed on creating a healthy environment in the gut and making individualized dietary recommendations. Nutritional supplements are often recommended to heal the gut, and improve immune function. Herbal prescriptions are also made to help regulate the immune response and support healthy adrenal function. Homeopathic Remedies are often recommended and work on a very gentle and energetic level. Stress management techniques are suggested, along with acupuncture to help strengthen the body's response to stressors. Hydrotherapy and lymphatic support are also prescribed to improve immune function.
Acute prescriptions to colds and flus are commonly prescribed by Naturopathic Doctors. Since the body has an innate ability to heal itself, these prescriptions support the natural ability of the body to mount healthy immune reactions to infections instead of suppressing the immune response, which is often the mechanism of action of conventional medications and over the counter prescriptions.
