Services
Classical Homeopathy
Classical homeopathy uses highly diluted natural substances to stimulate the body's self-healing mechanisms. This individualized treatment approach addresses chronic mental/emotional conditions by matching specific remedies to patients' unique symptom profiles, including physical, emotional, and behavioral manifestations. Our protocol follows traditional homeopathic principles through single remedy prescriptions and careful observation of patient responses.
Botanical Medicine
Botanical medicine employs plant-based remedies to support healing and wellness. We utilize evidence-based herbal formulations in tincture, capsule, and topical forms to address inflammation, hormonal imbalances, and nervous system disorders. This treatment integrates traditional herbal knowledge with modern clinical research to complement homeopathic protocols for mental health conditions.
Clinical Nutrition
Clinical nutrition assesses dietary needs through lab testing and symptom analysis. We develop personalized meal plans and supplement regimens to correct nutritional deficiencies that may contribute to mental health disorders. This service includes food sensitivity testing and dietary modifications to optimize brain function and emotional stability.
Thyroid Hormone Treatment
Thyroid hormone treatment addresses hypothyroidism's impact on mental health. We use natural thyroid replacement therapies to restore normal hormone levels, monitoring patients through regular bloodwork to ensure optimal dosing. This service helps alleviate depression, fatigue, and cognitive issues associated with thyroid dysfunction.

We develop practical strategies to implement dietary recommendations and support mental health improvements through behavioral changes.

Report
I went to see Dr. Kaufmann a few years back for issues I was having with a severe form of OCD. I read about how homeopathy could bring some relief from the debilitating symptoms. Before seeing Dr. Kaufmann I tried a lot of the usual recommendations for treating OCD like CBT and I tried some alternative remedies like herbs, but nothing brought me much relief. I was still stuck in a constant loop of OCD and anxiety. So I was pleasantly surprised after about a few months of homeopathic treatment my symptoms greatly improved. I went from being unable to walk around my own house without excessive checking

Dr. Kaufmann encouraged me to get off of nasal spray and antihistamines for my allergies. I appreciate his honesty and gentle manner. Im looking forward to being on medication that is better for my body. If youre having trouble on traditional medication like I was I would encourage you to call Dr. Kaufmann.

I sought out a natural path as I started my journey of weaning off the medicine I have been taking daily for years so I can safely get pregnant. Every step of the way Dr. Kaufmann has been kind, dedicated, flexible, and thorough. If you are wondering if you should see a natural path, and if you can trust that your physician has your best interests at heart, I can confidently say Tree of life natural medicine is a good place to go!

Before I went here I knew something was wrong with me, but I could not on my own pin-point exactly what it was. Through Doctor Kaufmann's expertise and guidance, we were able to determine that I was allergic to dairy. It has greatly improved my physical wellbeing since then. I highly recommend Tree of Life Natural Medicine because of how he is an excellent listener and strives to be available as much as humanely possible.
