What is Naturopathy?

Naturopathy is a whole medical system combining an array of natural therapies to support healing in order to maintain optimal health. Naturopaths aim to treat the underlying causes of illness and disease, using scientific evidence as well as traditional evidence in practice and treat both acute and chronic conditions.

What to expect from a consultation?

A consultation with a Naturopath will often be a lot longer than one you may have experienced with your family doctor or GP, with the first visit often taking 90 minutes. This is because a thorough assessment of your health status needs to be made, examining all aspects including family and personal medical history. Subsequent sessions are likely to be for a shorter period, depending on the condition experienced.  Your naturopathic consultation will cover-

Health profile – the practitioner will make a thorough assessment of your case history, in an attempt to identify the root cause of your health problem/s

Dietary advice – dietary advice is based on the patient’s health and lifestyle, and the practitioner will draw on herbal medicine, as well as nutraceuticals- vitamin and mineral supplements to maintain or restore optimal health.

Biomedical examinations, such as taking the vital signs (blood pressure, pulse, respiratory rate) and anthropometric measurements (body weight, height, waist circumference) to more Naturopathic physical examinations such as Iridology hair, skin, nail and tongue signs.

Treatments may include one or all of the following modalities:

Nutrition - Counseling - Iridology Herbal medicine - Homeopathy Massage - Bush Flower Essences Reiki & Wellness programs
