Naturopathic Medicine

Serving Houston, Katy, Woodlands & Surrounding Areas

At Axelrad Clinic our specialty is naturopathic medicine, a system many women in Houston, Katy, Woodlands and nearby cities in Texas turn to when modern Western medicine fails. Some clients prefer to go the natural or “holistic” route from the beginning, because it is based on the healing power of nature and treats the entire person instead of a specific set of symptoms. Women’s health is our primary focus as we work with women who have suffered recurrent pregnancy loss, who need menopause therapy, or who have fertility issues or conditions including endometriosis, polycystic ovarian syndrome (PCOS), hypothyroid or other hormone imbalances. Other services include IUI support and IVF acupuncture for women who desire the highest chance of success with intrauterine insemination or in-vitro fertilization procedures.

What is naturopathic medicine? To put it in simple terms, it is an alternative or holistic approach that relies on nature and non-invasive treatment or therapy to promote self-healing of the body and mind. Components of naturopathy include acupuncture, herbal medicine, nutrition, meditation, therapeutic massage, prevention and lifestyle counseling, and more. There are six principles that include:

First do no harm – Therapies are the least invasive and risk of harmful side effects is minimal.
Identify and treat the cause – Identify root cause of symptoms so the cause may be treated instead of suppressing symptoms.
The healing power of nature – Modalities of treatment facilitate the innate ability of the body to heal itself.
Treat the whole person – The physical, emotional, mental and spiritual aspects make up the “whole” of the body; treatment focuses on the whole person rather than separate systems or organs of the body.
Doctor as teacher – Naturopathic practitioners encourage patients to be responsible for their health and educate each patient regarding lifestyle and dietary changes.
Prevention – Assessing susceptibility to disease, heredity and other risk factors help prevent future disease.

When it comes to women’s health, naturopathic medicine is instrumental in improving fertility, balancing mood, helping the body heal from diseases or conditions that affect fertility such as endometriosis, PCOS or hormonal imbalances, overcoming the negative issues often associated with menopause, and more. Natural medicine is also highly useful in prenatal and postnatal support and for women who have chosen to undergo IUI or IVF procedures in an effort to conceive and want to boost the odds of success.

Traditional Chinese Medicine

Naturopathic medicine encompasses many of the modalities of traditional Chinese medicine including acupuncture and herbal supplements. Functional medicine is another vital component of naturopathy, providing targeted nutrition to the organs, tissues and cells of the body to support healing through foods and supplements. Basically, we rely on nature to help our patients discover the power of self-healing and how the body works to overcome almost any disease or condition that impacts health and well-being.

At The Axelrad Clinic we want to help you be in control of your health and fertility. Regardless of age, we provide customized care for a wide array of women’s health issues. We invite those in Houston, Katy, Woodlands and surrounding areas to learn more about naturopathic medicine and how it can help you achieve your best overall health by calling 713-527-9555 now.

Here's How We Help Thousands Every Year With PROVEN, Personalized Holistic Medical Care

Gentle Acupuncture

Acupuncture is one of the most powerful ways to naturally stimulate your body's innate healing process. Then, it gets right to work repairing and restoring all cells and tissues. Laser Acupuncture harnesses the vast healing intelligence your body contains to help it heal faster and with more lasting effects.

Herbal Medicine

Herbs simultaneously cure AND strengthen the body. This dual action is something unique to herbal medicine that makes it very well suited to treat hormonal conditions including thyroid, menstrual disorders, mood problems, sleep issues, and fertility.

Functional Nutritional Therapy

When your cells, glands, and tissues are fully nourished with the specific nutrients they need, these tissues naturally function at a very high level. This means you feel your best because the body’s key systems are optimized.

Relaxation and Stress-Reduction

When your nervous system is calm, the hormonal system, immune system, digestive, and circulatory systems all calm down, too. This means a more focused mind, more resilient immune system, less inflammation, better circulation, and optimal nutrient absorption.
