Book an Appointment with Dr. Werner Vosloo

Over the last two decades there has been an increase in consumers demanding safe and effective natural solutions to their healthcare needs.  Because of this demand, Naturopathic medicine has emerged as a solution, offering natural therapies to the health care system.

What is Naturopathic Medicine? Naturopathic medicine is the art and science of restoring your body and health by following specific rules.  These rules are under the basic assumption that nature is orderly and this orderliness is designed to result in ongoing life and well being. This natural and dependable orderliness is believed to be guided by a kind of inner wisdom that balances ones body. 

Naturopathic physicians are licensed and trained in the art and science of natural healthcare at accredited medical colleges and are educated in standard medical curriculum, along with holistic and nontoxic approaches to treatment.  ND’s or Naturopathic physicians also have a strong emphasis on disease prevention and optimizing wellness; and provide a natural means to restoring your bodies’ natural composition. Naturopathic physicians often partner with conventional medical doctors to provide alternative therapies in conjunction with conventional medicine.

We take rigorous professional board exams so that we may be licensed as a primary care doctor and incorporates a natural approach to treatment when treating patients.

What are the benefits of seeing a Naturopath?  Naturopath treatments encompass both traditional and holistic methods, which is what I provide patients at the FFC Center of Portland.  I am able to improve the quality of life to my patients by practicing integrated medicine that incorporates effective treatments from both conventional and natural medicine.

The real benefit lies in the way I combine the conventional medical model with a vital, biological, organ based approach. This enables me to identify specific areas of intervention and to enhance the vitality and function of specific organs and organ systems to restore energy health.
