Naturopathy

WHAT IS IT?

Naturopathy maintains that the body can heal itself if it is given the right circumstances and conditions. A range of treatments or therapies are used to stimulate the body’s own healing powers or ‘vital force’. Treatment may include nutritional medicine, dietetcis, herbal medicine, homeopathy, lifestyle advice and tactile therapies such as massage and acupressure. Naturopaths will work together with other health practitioners as part of your health care team. Naturopaths are specialists in prevention.

Naturopathy aims to find the ‘root cause’ of your health condition by thoroughly assessing your diet and digestive status, sleep quality, immune function, genetic predispositions and daily stressors.  The ‘whole person’ is taken into consideration in order to return the patient to good health.  Naturopaths are specialists in prevention and offer a wide range of both Traditional and Modern Herbal Medicines as well as Practitioner Only Vitamin and Mineral Prescriptions.
