Naturopathic medicine and Acupuncture

The two most popular questions we get asked here at The Integrative Medicine Center at Griffin Hospital are what is Naturopathic medicine and what is Acupuncture.

Naturopathic medicine is actually a healthcare system based on holistic philosophy. It aims to promote optimal Health by using modern diagnostic tools with safe and effective natural therapeutics. 

There are many areas when it comes to natural therapeutics. These include botanical medicine, clinical nutrition, nutritional supplements, Naturopathic manipulative therapy, homeopathy, natural childbirth and more.

When it comes to acupuncture, this refers to the insertion of fine needles into the body at specific points. These points are safe and effective when it comes to treating specific health problems. 

In fact, these acupuncture points have been long established by the Chinese for over two thousand years. Traditional acupuncture is based the ancient belief of the flow of Vital Energy and Blood through certain tunnels of our body. 

Acupuncture is used to regulate and harmonize this flow throughout the body for a healthier life.
