Addictions

A cycle of dependence. Addiction has become a part of everyday life. Smoking, alcoholic drinks, tranquilizers, coffee, drugs or sex. The underlying cause is often a problem or situation in life which people cannot face or escape from, social pressure to conform, or simply a wish to experiment.

As the body gets accustomed to the stimulation induced by the substance, more and more of it is needed to get the same effect.

Many people are reluctant to talk to their doctor about these problems.

Addicts should seek counseling and support from self-help organizations such as Alcoholics Anonymous or Narcotics Anonymous.

Naturopathic medicine is a healing art of assisting a person in recovery from ill health and maintaining well being through stimulation, and enhancement. It emphasizes that the body can heal itself if it is appropriately encouraged to do so..

Naturopathic approach to drug, alcohol, or other addictions is similar. Anxiety, depression, mood swings are addressed with natural nerve toxics and adrenal restoratives and tonic. At the same time, the liver is being cleansed and regenerated. Specific herbs, homeopathics and aromatherapy are also introduced to promote reduction of cravings of certain substances or foods. A combination of the above approaches creates perception of well-being and happiness. During these actions, consumption of additive substances of foods is being maintained.
