What Is Environmental Medicine?

Your Environment Is More Than The Air You Breath

Your Environment is everything that you eat, drink, and touch, along with allergies and intolerances; it’s your lifestyle, including exercise, sleep, and stress. All these factors and more affect your health. Every illness, every disease, and every condition can be traced back to something in your environment.

At Grace Medical & Allergy, we examine all these factors, and more, to discover what is going on behind the scenes. We want to find the issues in your environment that are causing your symptoms, and fix the problem at the source. 

Although medication is usually a part of our treatment, we do not believe it is the only solution. Medication is meant to treat symptoms, which is important, but it rarely fixes the problems permanently. That’s why we use other resources like allergy testing, allergy treatment, physical therapy, natural remedies like diet and lifestyle changes, and natural supplementation to create a long term, permanent solution. 

So in short, environmental medicine is the process of examining a person’s lifestyle, diet, history, and allergies, to find imbalances and treat the problems at the source to alleviate symptoms.
