Naturopathy
treats the cause of an illness with non-toxic, non-invasive therapies,
integrating conventional health sciences with natural therapies
& traditional medicines. Your naturopath may use a variety of
diagnostic tools, such as Iridology, tongue & nail analysis,
or blood & urine analysis, to determine the nature of your condition.
To treat your condition, your Naturopath may prescribe Western Herbal
Medicine, Homeopathic Medicine, Flower Essences, Nutritional Advice
and / or suggest lifestyle changes to improve your health &
well being.
To
ensure the integrity of your treatment, please bring any other current
prescriptions with you (such as antibiotics, blood pressure medications
etc) and a list of any health supplements you are taking.
The basic tenet of Naturopathy is to treat you as a whole person
(your mental, emotional & physical being) for lasting health
improvement.
Naturopathy
engages with the innate healing power present within your body.
In a naturopathic consultation your medical history & overall
lifestyle patterns are reviewed to determine a treatment plan and
natural medicine prescription suited to your individual needs. |

Naturopathy
is a distinctively natural and multi-disciplinary approach to health.
It is based on the belief that our body has an amazing ability to
heal itself.
A naturopath,
the GP of complementary medicine, believes that our bodies need
certain basics to function: the correct nutrients, adequate rest
and relaxation, regular exercise, fresh clean air, clean water and
sunlight. While recognising the limitations of our modern world
a naturopath will work with you in a healing partnership to:
• discover and address the underlying
issues affecting your well-being • stimulate your natural
healing process • increase your energy levels and vitality
• guide you towards a healthy lifestyle • educate you
about your body • empower you to take control of, and have
responsibility for, your health.
Your Naturopath
is a preventative medicine specialist, who works both to alleviate
any current diseases or conditions such as skin rashes, sleeplessness,
digestive complaints etc & to prevent disease or discomfort
recurring with responsible healthcare. Naturopathy works to uncover
the cause of an illness rather than simply treat the symptoms. This
provides a more lasting health balance. An initial appointment with
a Naturopath will take approximately 1 hour and 15 minutes. Naturopathy
is suitable for people of all ages from infants through to the elderly,
even animals can benefit! Please phone to discuss any queries. |
