Naturopathy

Naturopathic philosophy favours a holistic approach. 

A consultation with one of our Naturopaths focuses on lifestyle, health history, mental and emotional health stresses, and physical assessments. This allows us to gain sufficient information to then tailor a wellness programme to address your health concerns, or maintain wellness. Our naturopaths focus on lifestyle changes and approaches that support the body's natural healing potential.

Naturopathy seeks to find the least invasive measures necessary for not only symptom improvement or resolution, but also addressing key causes of disease, thus encouraging minimal use of surgery and unnecessary drugs.

Prevention of disease through stress reduction and a healthy diet and lifestyle is emphasized.

It is this appreciation and knowledge that differentiates naturopathy from orthodox medicine and is based on the following six principles of healing:

  • First do no harm
  • The healing power of nature
  • Prevention is the best cure
  • Identify and treat the cause
  • Heal the whole person
  • The naturopath as educator

 

Naturopaths are primary health care providers, who interpret pathological and other screening tests and use various natural approaches including prescribing key nutrients, herbal supplements, dietary and lifestyle changes and body treatments to assist you in attaining optimal well-being.

 

Naturopaths endeavour to empower clients to make new life choices that lead to better health and wellbeing, providing lifestyle advice through the use of a variety of natural therapies from nutrition, herbal supplements, super foods and body treatments.
