What these practices mean
Acupuncture / Chinese medicine
Fine needles placed along energy pathways, often combined with herbs, cupping and diet advice. Popular for pain, fertility, hormones and stress.
Colon hydrotherapy
Also called a colonic. Gently flushes the large intestine with filtered, warm water to clear waste. Usually paired with diet changes.
IV therapy (clinic)
Run by a naturopathic or medical doctor. Usually starts with a consultation and lab testing, then builds an IV plan around your specific needs, often alongside other treatments such as ozone or hormone care.
Ayurveda
India's traditional system of medicine. Tailors diet, herbs, routines and body treatments to your constitution (dosha).
Ozone therapy
Uses medical-grade ozone, given in an IV, injection or sauna, with the aim of supporting circulation, immunity and the body's fight against infection. EBOO is a more intensive version that filters and ozonates the blood outside the body.
Craniosacral therapy
A very gentle, hands-on technique where the practitioner uses light touch on the head, spine and sacrum (tailbone) to release tension and calm the nervous system. Often used for stress, headaches, pain and trauma, and gentle enough for infants.
Holistic vet
Licensed veterinarians who combine conventional animal care with approaches like whole-food nutrition, acupuncture, herbs or chiropractic for pets. A good fit if you want the same whole-body approach for your animals that you choose for yourself.
Reiki / energy healing
A Japanese practice where the practitioner uses light or no touch to support relaxation and the body's natural balance. Not a medical treatment.
Cancer support & nutrition
Practitioners who support people before, during and after cancer treatment with nutrition, lifestyle and emotional care. Look for someone who is happy to coordinate with your doctors.
Functional / integrative medicine
Doctors who look for the root cause of symptoms through detailed history and lab testing, then combine conventional and natural treatments.
Thermography
An infrared camera maps heat patterns in the body to show inflammation or changes in blood flow. No radiation or compression. Best used alongside, not instead of, a mammogram; the FDA says it should not replace one.
Homeopathy
Uses highly diluted natural substances chosen to match a person's whole symptom picture. Classical homeopaths give one remedy at a time.
Biological / holistic dentistry
Dentists who avoid mercury and toxic materials, remove old fillings safely and consider how oral health affects the whole body.
Lymphatic drainage
A light, rhythmic massage that helps move lymph fluid through the body. Used for swelling, recovery after surgery, lymphedema and detox support.
Chiropractor
Adjusts the spine and joints to restore alignment and support the nervous system. Holistic chiropractors often add movement, nutrition and lifestyle care.
Reflexology
Pressure on specific points of the feet, hands or ears that are believed to correspond to organs and systems in the body. Deeply relaxing.
Naturopathic doctor (ND)
Licensed in California after a four-year medical program focused on natural therapies, nutrition and prevention. Can order labs and, in many cases, give IVs.
Sauna & red light
Wellness studios offering infrared sauna and red light therapy, sometimes with cold plunge. People use them for relaxation, recovery and skin health. Usually a pay-per-session or membership experience rather than a medical treatment. Check with your doctor first if you're pregnant or have a heart condition.
IV therapy (drip bar)
Walk-in or quick-booking IV lounges where you choose a drip from a set menu (hydration, immunity, energy, recovery). Convenient and relaxing, with a brief medical screening, but less individualized than a clinic.
Holistic nutrition (NTP, RHN)
Nutrition practitioners who focus on whole, real foods and root-cause support rather than calorie counting. Different from registered dietitians, who follow conventional guidelines.
