NATUROPATHY
THE NATURAL PATH
TO GOOD HEALTH
Naturopathic Medicine
Naturopathic Medicine is a holistic approach that helps to identify the root cause of health problems and incorporates evidence-based treatments utilising diet, nutrition, botanical medicine and lifestyle plus functional medicine diagnostic testing.
A Naturopath is a trained professional with an in-depth knowledge of the way the human body works, and a current up to date knowledge of how to use natural medicine to address the imbalances in the body that result in ill health.
Naturopaths are trained in allopathic medication and the contra-indications for any supplement or herb, so you are in good hands with a qualified practitioner.
Because everything in the body is linked, a Naturopath will look at what is happening in every body system, which means that the problem that has been driving your health issues is identified and addressed, as well as the symptoms.
The Philosophy of Naturopathy
"Let food be thy medicine and medicine be thy food" Hippocrates.
Naturopathy is a system of medicine that seeks to promote positive health by removing obstructions to vitality (these can be physical and emotional toxins), while supporting the body's inherent self-healing tendency (by providing the correct micro and macro nutritional elements to restore health, harmony and wellness). The body is astonishingly resilient when given the right nutritional tools.

What about pharmaceuticals?
Sometimes prescription drugs are warranted in acute conditions and can save lives. But more often than not, prescription drugs for chronic health conditions can actually deteriorate your health in the long run, and many people are overprescribed drugs that cover up the underlying health issue found in their lifestyle or diet choices.
Western medicine tends to focus on managing and suppressing individual symptoms one at a time, rather than carefully identifying the root cause underneath and working to improve it in a holistic way.
Treating the whole family
Naturopathic medicine is for all ages and stages of life from childhood, teenage, pregnancy, to menopause, andropause and elderly..
Why see a Naturopath?
- You have a
pre-diagnosed chronic health condition and are seeking natural alternatives to help treat or maintain your condition via diet and supplements, to help improve your health so
reliance on allopathic pharmaceuticals may be lessened.
- You are suffering from general vague ill health symptoms. Naturopathic practitioners are often successful at treating conditions that do not respond well to conventional medicine. This includes but is not limited to: fatigue, low mood, pain, sleep disturbance, poor immunity, low sex drive, weight problems and digestive disorders.
- You are in general good health but would like to be assessed for any nutrient imbalances and/or dietary and lifestyle considerations to ensure ongoing good health.
Working with a naturopath requires us to be partners in your health..
You will be directed to natural ways to improve your health but you must make the effort to change and manage your lifestyle.
There will be temptations for you to return to your old habits that may have been the driving factor for your health condition today.
You will be supported and encouraged as you make beneficial, but sometimes difficult changes.
