Naturopathic medicine is an important component of the integrative treatment program at Eastern Regional Medical Center. Naturopathic practitioners work closely with your care team as part of your individual treatment plan. Natural therapies may be used on conjunction with traditional therapies to decrease the side effects associated with traditional cancer treatments, support whole body wellness, and provide strategies for long-term cancer prevention.
At Eastern, you will have the option to meet with a naturopathic practitioner who will assess your situation and offer individualized, evidence-based therapies that have been shown in research to be effective. Your naturopathic practitioner will monitor your supplement and vitamin intake to ensure safety in regards to potential drug-herb and drug-nutrient interactions. You may also consult your naturopathic practitioner about other supplements you may be taking and ask questions about natural therapies that are of interest to you.
