Acute Care Clinic

As a result of Dr Noordien’s many years of experience managing emergencies, she has opted to retain this setup which allows her to cater for the needs of the sicker patient. Those patients who may require more intense, acute treatment/stabilisation such as oxygen through nebulisation’s, or intravenous medications or stat doses of medication for high blood pressure/ or high glucose levels etc. as well as for patients who have just been discharged from hospital who may require close monitoring in the acute phase. Assessments will be made on site and if patients warrant hospital referral, patients will be stabilised and then transferred via EMS from Tree of Health Medical Practice to the nearest facility for further management.

IV Drip Therapy

Often considered a cosmetic/aesthetic procedure; Vitamin drip therapy has many well-established benefits. Due to our very busy lifestyles, filled with the consumption of ultra processed foods, our bodies are starved of the nutrients, vitamins and minerals which it craves. As a result, we experience brain fog, fatigue, apathy, depression, chronic headaches, skin outbreaks and weight issues just to name a few. IV drip therapy can deliver a concentrated boost of vitamins, minerals and salts directly into the blood stream which bypasses the gut and reaches the intended organs much quicker. The positive effects are usually felt immediately upon completion of the intravenous infusion and may last for a month or 2 after the treatment.

Whilst it is important to address the underlying causes and to exclude a general medical condition as the cause for those symptoms listed above, IV drip therapy is an excellent interim way of managing these often-debilitating symptoms by providing a concentrated boost of goodness and allows you to feel like your old self again.

There are many options available and comes in either 200ml or 1000ml preparation. Book now to secure your lazy boy and come relax for an hour with either some tranquillity sounds or catch up on your favourite Netflix episodes.

Chronic Disease Management

Dr Noordien is trained in the managing all chronic diseases at a primary health care level, those patients who warrant referral to specialists will be assisted to do so. The aim of Dr Noordien’s chronic disease management programme is to educate her patients sufficiently about the aetiology (causes) of the illnesses and to then to provide them with a step-by-step guide on how to strengthen the body from within with the aim of reducing the need for repetitive chronic prescriptions.

She prescribes allopathic treatments as and when required, for a limited period but also promotes the use of natural products/superfoods which accelerate the body’s own regenerative capacity. This combination of treatment, backed by scientific evidence, results in the body’s ability to reverse these chronic diseases and her patients end up on little or no chronic medication at all.
