Do you get sick often? Are you tired all the time? Can’t shake that cold or infection? At Coastal Natural Therapies our trained practitioners will be able to work with you in the treatment of your immune disorder.
Typical Western treatments involve the use of medications with varying degrees of effectiveness and toxicity, what you may not know is that these drugs often do not cure the underlying cause of the disorder. Instead they address the symptoms or suppress the immune system in order to keep symptoms under control.
Here at Coastal Natural Therapies we combine conventional scientific knowledge with traditional wisdom into a holistic natural medical practice. While we understand the symptoms of disease and the appropriate treatments, we go beyond the specifics of the disease and develop a treatment plan to aid the body in healing itself; this plan will work to boost the immune system and prevent the disease from re-occurring in the body
Every time your body comes into contact with an infection whether it be bacterial, viral, fungal, or an infection of another form, the immune system is challenged. The most effective way to avoid infections throughout the body is to ensure that your immune system is functioning efficiently and at its highest possible level. By maintaining the health of the immune system your body will be more able to fight off any infectious organisms when it comes into contact with them.
Some of the common factors that reduce the effectiveness of the immune system include:
- Stress
- Hormonal disorders
- Insufficient sleep, rest, relaxation
- Decreased sense of well-being, depression
- Too little or too much exercise (moderate exercise improves immunity)
- Poor dietary choices and an insufficient intake of nutrients particularly zinc, vitamin C and some of the B group vitamins
- Overuse of antibiotics
At Coastal Natural Therapies we can tailor a program suited to you to build your immunity and maintain your health and overall wellbeing. Treatment that may be included in your program:
- Acupuncture
