A Comprehensive Approach to Your Well-Being
Fatigue is a very common complaint that we naturopathic doctors encounter on a daily basis. Many times it is necessary to find the cause of fatigue and offer a treatment aimed at the factors that are causing it. In another large portion of cases there is no clearly identifiable cause and treatment with different naturopathic modalities can be very useful in this. Chronic stress, which is closely related to fatigue, can affect our quality of life, not allowing us to live to our full potential. Through a consultation with us you can count on a complete examination that can guide us in choosing the appropriate treatment to resolve your affliction.
Insomnia is one of the most common conditions in both conventional and naturopathic medicine. Using conventional sleep aids, specifically over-the-counter ones, can have multiple unwanted side effects. Chronic sleep problems can lead to several chronic health conditions including fibromyalgia, chronic fatigue syndrome, obesity, depression, and anxiety, among others. A thorough consultation can investigate the cause of the problem and recommend solutions that are effective in solving your sleep problem.
Diabetes is one of the most prevalent chronic diseases in Puerto Rico. It is also the cause of many health complications affecting the cardiovascular system, immune system, nervous system, kidneys and retina of the eye. Naturopathic treatment for diabetes aims to stabilize glucose levels through lifestyle changes and dietary recommendations. A fundamental part of naturopathic treatment for diabetes is the use of nutritional supplements and medicinal plants that support the benefits of a proper diet and exercise routine. Diabetic patients can expect to receive a consultation that takes into account all the adverse effects that their condition may be causing.
Most naturopathic modalities can be effective in treating anxiety and depression. Treatment may include the use of herbal remedies, supplements, acupuncture, and homeopathy in conjunction with lifestyle changes that may be beneficial in improving your health. If done responsibly and by a trained professional, naturopathic therapies can be used in conjunction with conventional medications.
Naturopathic medicine views the body as a whole and therefore different therapies can be used to seek healing for the individual.
