A Holistic Approach
Natural medicine (Naturheilkunde), often described as traditional or alternative medicine, uses natural remedies and holistic approaches to treatment. This medical perspective takes the whole person into account — physically, mentally and emotionally — and aims to address the deeper causes of illness, not just the symptoms.
Methods and Treatments
In my practice I use the following approaches alongside the body-oriented work through Somatic Experiencing.
-
Herbal medicine: Use of medicinal plants and herbs to treat a variety of complaints.
-
Homeopathy
-
Nutritional therapy: Adapting diet to support health and prevent illness.
-
Orthomolecular therapy: Nutritional supplements.
Areas of Application
These natural medicine approaches can be helpful for a wide range of complaints, including:
-
Chronic pain such as arthritis or migraine
-
Digestive disorders such as irritable bowel syndrome or heartburn
-
Stress-related complaints such as anxiety and sleep disturbances
-
Preventive healthcare to strengthen the immune system and improve general health
Summary
Natural medicine is a valuable complement to trauma therapy and body-oriented work. It opens pathways to self-care and encourages people to take an active role in their own health and wellbeing.
Getting Started
I offer a free initial phone call to discuss your situation and whether natural medicine support makes sense for you.
