Acupuncture can enhance fertility for those choosing to conceive naturally, as well as for those undergoing assisted reproductive technology (ART).

PEDIATRICS

Pediatric Naturopathic Care at Athens Integrative Medicine

Children respond wonderfully to the gentle therapies of naturopathic medicine. Homeopathy and herbal medicine are particularly effective in treating common childhood illnesses.

Healthy dietary habits are also very important for children’s wellness, and if established early, these habits will last a lifetime. Common childhood complaints we treat at Athens Integrative Medicine include:

Immune support, helping break the cycle of antibiotics and steroids, colds and flus, coughs, bronchitis, otitis media (middle ear infections), diarrhea, allergies, asthma, eczema, constipation, fevers, food sensitivities, wellness, and dietary counseling.

I always recommend that my patients also see a pediatrician to provide truly holistic care. In the state of Georgia, naturopaths are unable to administer childhood vaccinations.

INTEGRATIVE NATUROPATHIC ONCOLOGY

Integrative Naturopathic Oncology

Integrative oncology provides patients with safe options for combining conventional oncology treatments with natural evidence-based supportive therapies. The goal of this collaboration is to encourage optimal health and wellbeing: physically, mentally and emotionally. Therapeutic care may include acupuncture, botanical medicine, nutritional supplements, and dietary counseling.

Naturopathic Doctors can provide support at all stages of Cancer treatment:

  • At the time of diagnosis, we help to prepare the patient for what lies ahead. Acupuncture helps with the anxiety that accompanies a new cancer diagnosis and can help optimize sleep.

  • During Active treatment, we help manage side effects and improve response to conventional care. Neuropathy, fatigue, anemia, low white blood cells, and digestive symptoms can all be helped with Integrative Naturopathic care.

  • After active cancer treatment, we help reduce inflammation and improve quality of life to optimize sleep, GI health, energy and immunity.

  • Reduce future recurrence risk with healthy lifestyle education.
