What is Naturopathy?

The primary focus of Naturopathic Medicine is to identify and correct the underlying cause/s of disease.

Naturopathy encompasses a number of modalities, particularly herbal medicine and nutrition, to help identify and support illnesses and imbalances within the body, whilst adhering to the six Naturopathic Principles;

1. First, do no harm

2. The healing power of nature

3. Treat the cause

4. Treat the whole person

5. Preventative medicine

6. Patient education

Naturopathy offers a holistic approach to health, based on the principle that the body, given all the right love and support, has an innate ability to heal itself. With a focus on determining the root cause of an imbalance or illness, Naturopathy helps to restore optimal health and bring homeostasis (balance) to the body. Naturopathy looks at the individual as a whole, taking in to account all body systems, mental & physical - everything is connected!

How Can Naturopathy Help You?

Naturopathy is designed to support the body, helping it to heal naturally, particularly through the use of diet & lifestyle advice, nutritional supplementation and herbal medicine. Each Naturopathic care plan is designed to cater for the individual at focus. We are all different and thus each require a unique treatment approach.
