This special clinical focus at Junction Naturopathic Medicine is on filling a gap in usual oral health care.

• Addresses typically multi-factorial root causes around nutritional & mineral deficiencies, digestion issues, blood sugar imbalances, stress and altered cortisol, chemical & heavy metal toxicity
