Hvorfor velge behandling med Beatriz?
Because in her practice she uses naturopathic medicine in conjunction with her scientific knowledge of conventional medicine to increase efficacy in her assessment and treatments. As well as to reduce the side effects of some conventional medical treatments.
She examines the person’s medical and personal history and the individual characteristics that make her/him unique. A program then is developed according to that person’s lifestyle and individual needs; addressing all aspects of a human being (physical, mental emotional and spiritual). A combination of treatment methods will be brought into play to help one achieve optimum health.
She understands the mental-emotional-spiritual causes of physical symptoms and truly cares about her patients.
Treatment philosophy:
Treat the whole person not only the disease, meaning treat the cause not just the apparent symptoms.
Enhance and expand the mind . When the physiological and spiritual processes are in harmony, they create true health.
Mind, body and spirit all affect an individual's level of health and well-being.
I apply the philosophies of Naturopathic Medicine:
First do not harm
My practice:
In my practice I use a variety of diagnostic techniques beginning with a comprehensive patient history, observation and interview. Besides pulse and tongue diagnosis. I may do some lab test such as blood cholesterol, glucose, urine analysis, hair analysis, allergy and stool test to provide further insights.
I embrace the concept of biochemical individuality: the idea that people are each physiologically unique and, as such, require treatment specifically tailored to their own individual needs.
I work to identify and treat the underlying cause of illness, not just the apparent symptoms; treating illness with remedies and practices that address the whole person.
I take the time to understand my patients, integrating symptomatic treatment with preventative care.
I encourage patients to be actively involved in their healing process. In this way I can develop a comprehensive treatment plan that support the physical, mental, and emotional needs of each patient.
My treatment process:
I identify the needs of each individual patient, treat the whole patient not just the disease, emphasize self-care and work with the healing power of nature.
My approach is to enhance the cellular detoxification and the organic revitalization.
From my studies of conventional and natural medicine I have considerable knowledge to share and strive to make myself available to address any concerns or questions you may have.
