Natural Treatment Options

Botanical medicine is a form of medicine using plant materials. Herbs have been used across cultures for centuries as the primary form of medicine. Pharmaceuticals are often derived and synthesized from single plant constituents.

Dr. Jennifer uses botanical medicine in the form of tinctures (liquid extracts of herbs), supplements, teas, oils, creams and ointments. Botanical medicine has proven to be effective for a vast array of health concerns from a runny nose to high blood pressure.

It is very important to remember that even herbs can have potential side effects and may interact with conventional medicines. As a Naturopathic Doctor, Dr. Vidmar is extensively trained and qualified to recognize these interactions and prescribe botanical medicine in a safe personalized prescription for your specific needs.

Nobody likes to change their diet, but what many people don’t realize is that its their diet that’s limiting their health. Clinical nutrition is aimed at reviewing what it is a patient is putting into their body and recognizing any symptoms that may be present from food sensitivities, vitamin and nutritional deficiencies and or excesses. Dr. Vidmar uses functional testing to make informed decisions to develop personalized attainable dietary and supplement plans for you. She doesn’t believe in radical change over night, but rather she believes in empowering you to understand your choices. She works with you meeting you where you are at to implement sustainable, achievable changes in your diet. All aimed to positively affect your health.

Homeopathy is a form of medicine that uses dilute natural substances to stimulate the body’s inherent healing capacity. Homeopathy aims to mount a response to restore homeostasis (balance). Homeopathy is very safe and often used for infants and children with great results. Homeopathy is also safe during pregnancy and lactation when other treatments may not be advised.

Acupuncture is a form of traditional Chinese medicine that uses tiny needles inserted into mapped out meridians and points on the human body to achieve a therapeutic effect. NDs are trained in traditional diagnostics as well as acupuncture and herbal treatments. Acupuncture is used with success for chronic pain management, fertility issues, treating addictions, stress conditions, emotional imbalances, insomnia and to increase energy.

Naturopathic Medicine focuses on the whole person, the mind body and spirit. Our emotions have been scientifically recognized to have a huge effect on our physical body and can no longer be ignored, or be compartmentalized into only counselor’s and psychotherapist’s offices.

Dr. Vidmar works with her patients at their pace to help realize what it is that may be emotionally holding them back from achieving their health goals.
