Clinical Nutrition

• Clinical Nutrition examines the relationship between diet and health.  It is far more than counting calories or following the Canada Food Guide recommendations.  Special diets may be utilized and treatments may include nutritional supplements such as vitamins, minerals, enzymes and other nutraceuticals.

Botanical Medicine

The use of plants for healing dates back to the beginnings of civilization and is the foundation of modern pharmacology.  Plant substances from around the world are used for their healing effects and nutritional value.  Customized blends are available at St. Albert Naturopathic Clinic to maximize your healing potential.

Homeopathic Medicine

• Based on the principle of "like cures like" homeopathic medicine was developed in the 1700's.  Minute amounts of natural substances are used to stimulate the body's self-healing abilities.  These remedies come in the form of tablets, pellets or liquids.

Acupuncture and Muscle Release Acupuncture (MRA)

• Acupuncture is based on balancing the flow of Qi or energy in the meridian pathways of the body.  Through appropriate diagnosis and point location, fine needles are used to balance the energy and promote health.
• Muscle release acupuncture is a technique for relieving muscle pain and spasm related to nerve irriation.  Many people suffer from chronic pain and spasm of the muscles which can be relieved through specific trigger point stimulation using acupuncture needles.  At St. Albert Naturopathic Clinic, we receive many referrals from chiropractors to speed the patient's recovery time.

Intravenous Therapy

• In order to restore a depleted system to normal levels of nutrients, vitamins and minerals can take months or even years utilizing an oral approach and may not be possible until the gastrointestinal tract is restored to full function. However, intravenous approaches can restore a system to normal levels in one or two visits and the healing can be commenced more quickly. 
  
• IV Therapies include: EDTA chelation, High Dose Vitamin C, Myer's cocktail, and many other supplementary or preventative protocols.

Lifestyle Counselling
