The goal of this program is to restore proper digestive function. Constipation, diarrhea, chronic heartburn, chronic bloating, infections, IBS, Crohn's, Ulcerative colitis, Celiac's disease and many more conditions can be treated using naturopathic tools. Healthy digestion is fundamental to good health. You body needs the nutrients obtained through your diet to survive and thrive. Unfortunately, digestion is taken for granted to the point that heartburn, gas and bloating are so commonplace that they may seem normal. Antacids, antidepressants and surgery are all used to treat the symptoms of digestive problems, but they are not solutions by any means. Your digestive system is like an assembly line-or "disassembly" line as the case may be. Each step of digestion has its purpose and signals the next step of digestion to occur. The breakdown of food and absorption of nutrients can't occur if certain steps are missing (such as stomach acid and enzymes). Your digestive tract also protects you. There are many components of the immune system: Tonsils, lymphatic tissue, beneficial bacteria, not to mention that stomach acid itself is a powerful bacteria killer. And your digestive tract is a waste disposal and influences water balance. |
