NATUROPATHIC MEDICINE
Naturopathic medicine is a form of alternative medicine that emphasizes using natural remedies to support the body's natural healing abilities. Naturopathy is based on the belief that the body has an inherent healing power that can be stimulated through natural means. As a Naturopathic doctor, Candice focuses on identifying and addressing the root cause of a patient’s illness rather than simply treating the symptoms. She believes in the use of a wide variety of natural therapies, including herbal medicines, acupuncture, massage, and dietary changes, to promote healing and restore balance to the body.
The Difference Between Naturopathy and Homeopathy
While both naturopathy and homeopathy focus on treating the root cause of the disease, the main difference is that Naturopathy has a wider number of treatment options to provide care when compared to homeopathy, which uses a single treatment modality for healing. Homeopathy is simply one treatment option to provide care. However, homeopathy can be used along with other Naturopathic modalities to offer a more comprehensive treatment approach.
As a Naturopathic Doctor in Airdrie and Red Deer Alberta, Dr. Candice Staniek offers comprehensive care. She has a 5-Step process that she’ll discuss with you during the Initial Appointment.
