HOMEOPATHY
This revolutionary natural medical science was discovered over 200 years ago by Samuel Hahnemann from Germany. Homeopathic remedies come from different elements of the earth such as plants, animals and minerals. They are safe and effective natural medicines which work on an energetic level to strengthen the body’s vital force to heal itself. Homeopathy can be used for people of all ages, old and young, babies and during pregnancy in order to treat the cause and cure disease conditions. It is effective for the treatment of both acute and chronic illnesses. It can be used for physical as well as mental conditions. Classical homeopathy is an individualized treatment which involves taking a detailed case history to which an appropriate remedy is selected and given. For example, two people with the complaint of chronic headaches may receive two different remedies based on their individual case. The remedy is given based on the totality of the individual’s physical, mental and emotional picture. There are no side effects if used properly and under the guidance of a professional.

BOTANICAL MEDICINE
This medicine has been around since man discovered nature’s healing properties. Herbal/botanical medicine is very effective in treating various different types of conditions such as diabetes, hypertension, obesity, PMS, menopause, anxiety, depression, etc. It comes in various forms, such as powder, tincture/liquid extract, capsules, creams and salves. Botanical medicine should be taken under the guidance of a professional because it can have side effects or may interact with some pharmaceutical drugs if they are taken improperly.

HORMONE TESTING
At NuU wellness, our mission is to identify and treat the cause. Many conditions such as PMS, menopause, fatigue, depression, excess facial/body hair, hair loss, weight gain, acne, anxiety, etc may be due to hormone imbalance. Specialized hormone tests can identify excess or lack of hormone production by the body. Hormones such as estrogen, progesterone, testosterone, cortisol, growth hormone, thyroid hormone, etc play vital roles in the function of the human body. Once tested, the imbalances can be rectified through the means of herbs, homeopathy, lifestyle changes and/or bio-identical hormones. If you suspect you may have a hormone imbalance or are curious to find out, make an appointment to see one of our doctors.

FOOD ALLERGY/SENSITIVITY TESTING
