Rootie News: Service Spotlight vol. 1

Over the next couple of months, Sonoma Roots will be featuring a service each week. These "service spotlights" are intended to teach our current and prospective patients and clients a little more about what is available at Sonoma Roots Natural Medicine. Stay tuned, and let's get healthy together, Sonoma!

Naturopathic Medicine

Naturopathic Medicine is a unique medical system that combines ancient healing principles with modern day science to provide the comprehensive care of chronic and acute health conditions. During naturopathic medical visits, Dr. Danielle may perform physical exams and order standard or specialty laboratory testing. Naturopathic treatments may include clinical nutrition, botanical medicine, nutrient supplementation, homeopathic remedies, anthroposophical treatments and/or pharmaceutical prescriptions. 

Who Should Seek Naturopathic Care?

• Anyone who would like to improve their quality of life and overall health.
• Those looking for natural alternatives to their current medical care or ailment.
• Anyone seeking natural treatments from the common cold to chronic health conditions.
• Individuals who do not want to self-diagnose or self-treat with supplements, herbs and nutrition and value the opinion of a doctor knowledgeable in such treatments.
• Those looking for a doctor to help facilitate and encourage their journey to wellness.
• People who are looking for sound nutritional advice. 

Naturopathic Medicine and Cancer Care:
A journey through cancer and remission can be incredibly taxing to the physical, mental and emotional planes. A naturopathic doctor can provide supportive care throughout one's conventional cancer treatments and beyond. Dr. Danielle provides naturopathic services both at Sonoma Roots and with the Sonoma Valley Hospital's Cancer Support Sonoma program. The proper selection of natural remedies and nutrition can be effective adjuvant therapies for enhancing survival rates and the quality of life of cancer patients. Several naturopathic treatments have been shown to help protect healthy tissues from chemotherapeutic agents without compromising the necessary effects of chemo. For those interested in the Cancer Support Sonoma program at SVH, please visit their website or call (707) 935-5244
