Naturopathic medicine

 

Naturopathic medicine is a distinct primary health care system that blends modern scientific knowledge with traditional and natural forms of medicine.

The naturopathic philosophy is to stimulate the healing power of the body and treat the underlying cause of disease. Symptoms of disease are seen as warning signals of improper functioning of the body, and unfavorable lifestyle habits.

Naturopathic medicine emphasizes disease as a process rather than as an entity.

Dr. Kennett strives to offer complete patient care to the best of her abilities within the scope of her practice. She enlists allopathic, western and conventional medicine to alleviate symptoms while working on addressing the underlying cause of a condition.

There is always more than one route to the same destination, and this applies to health and wellness.

 

Naturopathic medicine

Dr Kennett believes that all patients should be treated with the same goal of optimal health in body and mind, and that patients should be informed of what they didn’t know existed. She also believes that patients have a right to make decisions about their health care, and that most diseases can be prevented.
She feels that diagnosis lends the patient more treatment options to reverse and/or manage their health issues, and that the current society we live in impacts our health more than we know. In her mind, it is imperative to help children and teenagers develop healthy views of themselves and food. She feels birth control is not the only option for pregnancy prevention or management of period related discomfort. She also feels that stress plays a much larger role in our overall health than we admit to.
