Caring for health is like gardening, working with Nature to create and sustain life. Health is cultivated by providing the right conditions for Nature’s life principle to restore itself. Plants need proper soil, water and sun to thrive. Humans need food, water, air, movement, community, and purpose for health. Toxins, trauma and insufficiency of life’s necessities are primary causes of dis-ease.
As a naturopathic doctor, I seek to understand the cause of disease through listening, observing and taking considerable histories in order to explore symptoms in detail. This is an expression of Greenman Wisdom.
From this process, an assessment of the individual’s health condition is made, and a treatment plan is created. Typically, treatment includes nutritional counseling on food habits and recommendations for quality nutritional or herbal supplements. Common in my practice is the use of classical homeopathy – finding one homeopathic remedy that energetically treats the whole person. As a Greenman physician, my goals are to respect and assist the healing power of Nature to act to restore health, i.e. to empower the individual to access the healer within one’s self.
Despite the breadth of my assessments and the attention that I give each patient, my services can be provided in as little as one session, and with my new Urgent Natural Health Care Service, I provide an option for individuals looking for natural, effective solutions to immediate and acute problems. In as little as 30-60 minutes, I can provide affordable, urgent, and natural care. My ability to help a patient find immediate relief is the result of my 29 years of experience in the field of natural health care, and the wisdom, knowledge, and intuition with which life has granted me. In one session, I can assess the severity of the condition, whether or not an M.D. is needed, and provide an integrated protocol of natural therapies. In the interest of making Greenman Wisdom and Urgent Natural Health Care accessible to everyone, my services run $80/hour or $40/half hour, with low-income sliding-scale option upon request. The natural, herbal, and homeopathic products that I recommend are available through the new Greenman Health Shoppe in the same building as my office, so clients can go home with the guidance and products they need to start healing.
So for a person with fatigue, for instance, a naturopathic physician encourages the individual to explain what their experience of fatigue is. What does fatigue mean to him or her, and what symptoms accompany the fatigue? The person is asked about lifestyle, exercise, employment, diet, rest, family health stresses in the person’s life, and especially what is unique about how the person reacts and adapts to those stresses? A review of other aspects of health is done, for example how is the digestion? Are there headaches? dizziness? allergies? etc. A limited or extensive physical exam and laboratory tests may be performed as indicated.
