Today, more people are seeking and benefiting from naturopathic medical care, and the number of naturopathic doctors is growing at record rates to accommodate this increased demand.

Naturopathic doctors treat holistically by looking at each patient as a whole person, rather than only focusing on one specific symptom, disease, or diagnosis. This means considering all the factors that comprise a person’s overall health, including a combination of genetics, environmental exposures, lifestyle habits, diet, exercise history, and social/emotional factors. The ultimate goal of naturopathic care is restoring balance in the body to support its natural healing process.

Here's how Naturopathic doctors treat their patients.

If you've heard of Traditional Chinese Medicine, you've probably heard about things like acupuncture. And while acupuncture is an element of Traditional Chinese Medicine, it is only one of the five pillars of healing within TCM. These pillars work in tandem with each other to help heal the mind, body, and soul.

Drinking herbal tea, exercising, and completing personalized acupuncture may play roles in a Traditional Chinese Medicine healing regimen. If you've been curious about healing outside Western medicine, Traditional Chinese Medicine can be a great place to start.

It has been tested through trial and error over thousands of years and many of its teachings have been proved with modern science. So whether you're looking for a little healing or a deep dive into Traditional Chinese Medicine, we hope you find what you're looking for here.

Here are five pillars of healing in Traditional Chinese Medicine.

The media is full of new diets and nutritional ideas, some of which have merit, while others offer no evidence to support their efficacy. One of the more recent popular diets trending is the alkaline or alkaline-acid diet.

The idea behind the alkaline diet is that foods that have been deemed “bad” for the intestinal system should be eliminated and that by doing so one can feel healthier and better able to manage weight. The so-called “bad” foods are high in acidic properties and, therefore, offset the balance of alkaline in the body.

Alkaline foods help in countering the risks of acidity and acid refluxes, bringing some sort of relief. Most traditional Indian meals contain alkaline food items to create a balanced diet.

While electroacupuncture isn't entirely new, it's becoming more popular.

Here's how it works: "You take clips, like you're going to jump your car and connect them to the acupuncture needle, then connect them to an electrical current." says Dr. Anna Folckomer, a New York City-based licensed acupuncturist. The machine then sends pulses into the body.

Sound kind of scary? Don't worry. This isn't some Frankenstein nightmare. The results of this high-powered alternative medicine can get shockingly good.

Talk with your doctor before trying this practice. And if you do head in for a session, sit back and relax. The outcome might shock you.

The information gained from the Ayurvedic pulse diagnosis provides the basis for your tailored treatment plan at the Ayurveda Resort Mandira. Reading your pulse is part of an in-depth consultation that helps us determine the Ayurvedic treatments that are most appropriate for you during your stay.

The pulse qualities detected under their three fingers allow the practitioner to determine your constitutional type. Most people fall into one or two types categories and therefore have an imbalance that causes a degree of illness.

These days, when self-care is more important than ever thanks to our frantic pace of life, ancient wellbeing practices are rising to the mainstream Western world. Two ancient wellbeing systems that are seeping into many of our daily habits are Ayurveda and traditional Chinese medicine, both of which operate around similar principles.

The philosophies focus on the individual taking care of their health in their day-to-day with life force-enhancing practices such as Qi Gong and yoga, which form part of a routine that aligns with the rhythm of the day.

Sattva is a state of harmony, balance, joy, and intelligence. Sattva is the guna that yogis achieve as it reduces rajas and tamas and thus makes liberation possible. Other sattvic qualities are a delight, happiness, peace, wellness, freedom, love, compassion, equanimity, empathy, friendliness, focus, self-control, satisfaction, trust, fulfillment, calmness, bliss, cheerfulness, gratitude, fearlessness, selflessness.

We've put together five traits of a satwik mind. To increase sattva reduce both rajas and tamas, eat sattvic foods and enjoy activities and environments that produce joy and positive thoughts. Sattvic foods include whole grains and legumes and fresh fruits and vegetables that grow above the ground. All of the yogic practices were developed to create sattva in the mind and body. Thus, practicing yoga and leading a yogic lifestyle strongly cultivates sattva.

Acupuncture is a timeless form of medicine that originated in China and has been around for thousands of years. But you may have been afraid to try it despite its many health benefits because of the thought of needles.

Over the last few years, acupuncture has seen a rise in popularity among healthcare providers as a viable form of treatment. One can help treat conditions like chronic back pain, headaches, nausea after chemotherapy, among many others.

There are a lot of misconceptions about acupuncture, but the truth is that this practice has been around for more than 3,500 years and provides relief to people around the world. Here are three of the common myths about acupuncture.

Ozone therapy is an alternative medicine practice that uses ozone gas. It is controversial due to concerns around its effectiveness and safety.
Researchers are currently exploring the effects of ozone therapy on the human body to identify any potential therapeutic benefits.

Ozone gas is toxic to humans, and there has been little research into the safety of ozone therapy. For this reason, official organizations do not currently support its use.

Anyone who has questions about ozone therapy and which treatment is best for them should consult a doctor.

Love your honey lemon tea much? Time to rethink!

Externally, warmed honey is used in Vasti and Vamana Ayurvedic detox treatments. This is expelled from the body through the mouth and a**s before it gets into the process of digestion.
But internally, Ayurveda warns against the use of honey in any heated form - directly or mixed with warm milk, warm water, warm lemon water or with tea, etc.

Ayurveda explains that warm honey is a slow poison that causes “ama” or toxicity in the body and its properties turn to that of poison once inside the body. Ama is a condition where the mucous and toxicity of the body increases, leading to many diseases.

One of the key diagnostic tools in Ayurveda is pulse diagnosis. Through the use of this diagnostic method, Ayurvedic practitioners can gain information about the physical constitution and health of their patients. This information is used to form the basis for sensitive and personalized therapy by Ayurvedic principles of treatment.

Pulse diagnosis is among the most fascinating ways of monitoring interactions in the body. This precise Ayurvedic method can recognize the disease process before symptoms are overtly visible. Nadi is the Sanskrit word for "channel/pipe/tube“, through which cell intelligence vibrates, and Pariksa means “diagnosis”.

Let's look at what can the Ayurvedic practitioner determine, through the use of pulse diagnosis.
