Good Health Clinics

Where does one go for help when the conventional medical profession fails us?  A lot of us look to natural medicine for answers, and getting information can be quite daunting.

When you need more in-depth information about your state of health, you may want to see one of our professionals in the Good Health Clinic.

This is where Good Health Mart can really help.  We are more than your average health food store or drug store pharmacy selling bottles of vitamins.  Good Health Mart employs trained professionals to guide you in choosing the right natural medicine for your problem. 

Our team of professionals includes a Naturapathic Doctor, a Fitness Consultant, and several Registered Nutritional Consultants. Their services include:

Acupuncture

 

Acupuncture is a treatment based on Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM), a system of healing that dates back thousands of years.  At the core of TCM is the notion that a type of life force, or energy, known as qi flows through energy pathways (meridians) in the body.  Each meridian corresponds to one organ, or group of organs, that governs particular bodily functions.  An imbalance of qi causes disease.  To restore balance to the qi, an Acupuncturist inserts needles at points along the meridians.

 

Biofeedback

 

The Biofeedback system assists the practitioner in finding energetic imbalances resulting from stress. The system detects weaknesses such as viruses, nutritional deficiencies, allergies, abnormalities and food sensitivities by calculating the biological reactivity and resonance in the body. The information is different from that provided by more standard medical tests (e.g. blood tests, X-rays) because it focuses in on your energetic body, which offers a complete view of each facet of your health affected by stress.

 

Hair Analysis


Having a hair analysis performed is one of the most accurate ways of detecting what chemicals are within your tissues, including radiation; heavy metals such as mercury; food chemicals; pesticides; as well as mineral levels in the body. Hair samples are sent to a professional laboratory.

Holistic Nutrition


Holistic nutritional counseling focuses on food as medicine, unveiling imbalances in the body through a Nutri-System profile. Through detoxification, immune and organ support, the goal is to reach homeostasis; the body’s natural state of balance, promoting nutrient - based absorption of food/ supplements so that the body can heal. The practitioner will design an appropriate nutritional plan so that the body can heal, as well as focus on increasing energy, well being, weight loss, and revitalization.

Homeopathic Medicine


Homeopathy is based on the Law of Similars, which states “Let likes be cured by likes.”  Homeopathy uses minute amounts of natural substances to stimulate and encourage the body’s innate healing abilities and responses.    Homeopathy encourages healing on an individual basis; treating the whole person, incorporating the importance of individual physical and physiological aspects into determining the appropriate remedy. Homeopathy is a safe and effective alternative for all members of the family.

                                     Ion Foot Cleanse

The internal cleansing promoted by an ionic treatment includes parasite, liver and kidney cleansing.  This treatment will relax, detoxify, balance and enhance the bio-energy of the body.

Live Blood Cell Analysis


With the help of darkfield microscopy this analysis uses a single drop of blood to detect some nutritional imbalances. By using this method, different kinds of diseases can be detected much earlier. 

Naturopathic Medicine


Focusing on prevention; the primary goal of the naturopath is to address the cause of illness, rather than to simply treat or to suppress symptoms. The ND will take an in-depth history and take the physical,   mental, emotional and spiritual dimensions into account while developing individual treatment plans. The ND conducts physical examinations and laboratory tests to facilitate the assessment and diagnostic process.  With the use of natural supplements and treatments, the ND helps the patient regain health and balance in the body, mind and spirit. Naturopathic visits are covered by most health insurance plans.       

Nutritional Counselling

Holistic nutritional counselling   focuses on food as medicine, unveiling imbalances in the body through a Nutri-System profile. Through detoxification, immune and organ support, the goal is to reach homeostasis; the body’s natural state of balance , promoting nutrient- based absorption of food/supplements. The practitioner will design an appropriate diet fit for the individual as well as focus on increasing energy, well being, weight loss, and revitalization.

Holistic Nutrition is safe and effective for all members of the family, offering natural solutions to chronic health complexities.

Reflexology

 

Reflexology is a holistic healing therapy based on the principle that there are reflex points on the feet, hands and head that correspond to every part of the body and organs. The benefits of Reflexology are that it is very relaxing, helps you sleep better, decreases stress and tension, and clears toxins from body and mind. It is non-invasive, strengthens all body systems and eases aches and pains.  

 

Reiki

 

Reiki is non-invasive healing therapy to help alleviate stress and pain in the body that uses light-touch and energy based healing. Through a series of hand positions either directly on or just above the body, the energy worker allows for the flow of energy through their own body. The receiver draws in the amount of energy that is needed to help the individual. Reiki works as a support mechanism for the body, restoring and re-establishing a normal energy flow of ki (life force) throughout the body which can enhance and accelerate the body’s innate healing ability.


Sports Nutrition

For serious or weekend athletes, proper nutrition will improve performance, increase strength and speed recovery. To achieve maximum results, individuals & sports enthusiasts require specific nutritional needs.


Important

We are not medical practitioners, pharmacists or chemists.  We do not attempt to diagnose, treat, cure or prescribe any physical or emotional condition.  Our goal is to educate you on how to build your own health.  For professional medical advice, or for treatment of any illness or disease, consult your physician.
