The Integrative Approach to Inflammatory Conditions
Identify Disturbances
Whether it is as simple as hay fever or as complex as mast cell activation or rheumatoid arthritis, a body that is over-reacting is a body on fire. We need to determine how and why this over-reactivity began in order to treat the root cause instead of suppressing your immune system for the rest of your life.
Modulate Inflammation and the Immune System
Botanicals and neutraceuticals can have profound effects on reducing inflammation and decreasing those signals that indicate the body is in crisis. Conventional medications like steroids and other disease modifying pharmaceuticals can have powerful effects to shut off the body's immune response. While this can help reduce symptoms it is not a long term, sustainable strategy. And in some cases, instead of suppressing the immune system, we need to enhance its function through the use of nutritional and botanical products. Each body is unique and root cause of the inflammatory, over-activated immune response must be addressed.
Recalibrate Response
Our ultimate goal is to re-program the body so that it no longer responds to that which is safe and instead only responds to those things that are actually threats. Thereby, reducing inflammation throughout the body, and resetting the immune system so that it not longer attacks self or harmless stimuli.
