Alternative Therapy in Burlington

Pillars of Wellness, located in Burlington, Aldershot, uses complementary and alternative therapy to address the patients concerns holistically.

The benefits of alternative therapy have been touted for centuries by various different cultures. Patients are regularly on the lookout for treatments that do not involve the use of drugs — and that’s where alternative therapy can be a good option.

Holistic therapy, also known as mind-body medicine emphasizes the impact of mental-emotional, social and spiritual factors on physical health as well as the effects of suboptimal diet, lifestyle and physical illnesses on mental health. By taking into consideration diet, lifestyle, environmental and mental-emotional factors and treating the person as a whole, naturopaths and other holistic healthcare practitioners aim to address the underlying cause of disease not just to treat the symptoms.

Holistic medicine encourages an integrative approach (collaboration with other healthcare practitioners) to place the patient at the center of care.

Naturopathic treatment includes botanical medicine (herbs), clinical nutrition, acupuncture, lifestyle counselling and homeopathy and can be used as an alternative or complementary to conventional medicine.
