When a new life is soon to enter the circle of life, we prepare, nurture and celebrate her/his arrival from a place of love and spirit. At the end of a life well-lived, whether days of life or decades of life, we can do the same. For those who have sought holistic health care in times of a life filled with vitality, naturopathic medicine is a beautiful fit to ease the passage near the end of life. Additionally, holistic palliative care can be used as an adjunct to enhance the effectiveness of and reduce side effects of conventional therapies or as a stand-alone to provide greater comfort in body and mind when living with challenging physical conditions. Palliative care and end-of-life care can occur simultaneously or may be needed at two distinctly different times in life. Palliative care can be provided when the long-term prognosis may indicate continued longevity but the road ahead may be quite challenging. End-of-life care is offered when treatments are no longer effective at sustaining life and/or the client is foregoing further interventional care and is preparing to move toward the end of life.
