What is Homeopathy?
Homeopathy is a medical system that was developed in Germany more than 200 years ago. It is based on theory that like cures like .Homeopathic medicines come from plants, minerals which diluted to undetectable amounts. These medicines are FDA regulated and I use them for colds, flu and pain from injures. I love to prescribe them because the treatments are individualized and tailored to each person.

What is Integrative Medicine ?
The overall focus is to heal the whole person including lifestyle factors. Patient and medical provider are partners in the healing process. Integrative medicine incorporates conventional medicine and alternative practices always keeping in mind that health promotion and prevention of illness is the most important for each person.
