The Healing Center ~ Naturopathic Medicine and Acupuncture Laurie Passmore, N.D., L.Ac.

At the Healing Center we employ a broad range of healing modalities with the intention of promoting health and vitality. These include, but are not limited to the following:

Acupuncture
Acupuncture is a system of medicine used to balance the body´s energy through the use of needles. It works through the flow of qi (vital force/energy) in the meridians (pathways that cover the body) and organs of the body. Each pathway is associated with a particular physiological system and internal organ. Acupuncture allows qi to flow to areas where it is deficient and away from where it is in excess. If qi is obstructed in its flow, pain will occur. Acupuncture can restore health by removing energy imbalances and blockages in the body.

Clinical Nutrition

Many common health complaints can be attributed to food sensitivities or dietary imbalances. With dietary modification and possible addition of nutritional supplements, health concerns can be treated with fewer complications and side effects.

Botanical Medicine
Many plants have medicinal properties and are actually the basis for several modern pharmacetuicals. Medicinal plants are highly effective and safe in the right dosage and when used correctly with other herbs and treatments. Naturopathic doctors are extensively trained in both the art and science of botanical medicine. 

Homeopathic Medicine
Homeopathy is a medicine that has been used for centuries in the East. Homoepathic remedies are made from dilutions of plant, animal and mineral substances. Based on the principle of “like cures like”, homeopathic remedies are carefully matched to specific patient symptom pictures to stimulate the body's innate healing forces on both the physical and emotional levels, with few side effects.

Prevention and Lifestyle Counseling
Studies repeatedly show that mental attitudes and emotional states can significanly influence healing and disease. Naturopathic doctors are committed to the education and guidance of their patients in making positive changes to all aspects of their lifestyle that may be hindering optimal health.  


Hydrotherapy

Hydrotherapy is the use of hot and cold water applications to stimulate healthy circulation in vascular and lymphatic systems. Hydrotherapy promotes immunity, activates detoxification and promotes increased energy levels

Biotherapeutic Drainage (UNDA's)
A homeopathic therapy used in Europe for over 60 years that detoxifies the body on a deep cellular level by supporting organ-specific toxin elimination.  This is a specialty of Homeopathy that is essential for managing any chronic disease due to the toxic environment that we live in.  One of the most profound medicines currently available to doctors.
