Allergy Season has started here in Victoria BC! We were the first clinic in Canada of our kind to offer Sublingual Immunotherapy, a safe and effective alternative to Allergy shots for desensitization to seasonal and environmental allergens. The time is now to come in and be tested by one of our Naturopaths to see if this is a treatment option for you.
Acupuncture is another great way to manage symptoms during the allergy season. Our Registered Acupuncturist, Victoria,has developed an allergy treatment acupuncture program designed to address allergy symptoms and limit or eliminate the need for antihistamines.
Our 28-day Medically Supervised Intensive Detoxification Program has been running for over 3 months now! And with many patients completing the process, we are proud to report great improvements in energy, mood, mental focus, digestive health and weight loss.
Dr. Jaime de Melo - ND(Naturopathic Physician) has begun working towards acquiring his prescriptive authority! When he has completed this rigorous process, Acacia will have three Naturopathic Physicians with prescriptive authority!
Constitutional Hydrotherapy now being offered here at Acacia! This therapy consists of the application of hot and cold towels to the chest and back. The contrasting temperatures are known to increase the body's white cell count which will boosts the immune system; handy with the cold and flu season in full force!
