What is Naturopathy?
Naturopathy is a holistic form of health care that applies the use of natural therapies based upon both traditional knowledge and scientific evidence. Through individualised treatment and care, a naturopath looks beyond the symptoms in order to identify the underlying cause of illness. By encouraging the body’s innate ability to heal, we can assist with guiding you towards your best version of health and wellbeing.
Treatments
Herbal Medicine
Plants have been used for centuries as a form of medicine. Their therapeutic activity is due to their complex chemical nature, with each part of the plant providing different therapeutic effects. Through the use of herbal medicine we can treat and manage an array of conditions, encouraging the body to heal.
Iridology
Like our fingerprints, no two irises are alike. Iridology is the study of the iris and the patterns it presents. Their unique imprint provides an insight into health conditions one may be predisposed to and how to best support their health and wellbeing.
Nutritional & Dietary Support
Hippocrates once said 'let food be thy medicine and medicine be thy food'. In order to function optimally our bodies require specific nutrients in varying amounts. By ensuring a balance of essential vitamins and minerals through the intake of food and supplementation, we can support the body to achieve optimal health.
Lifestyle Modifications
There’s often varying psycho-emotional components contributing to ill health. Through a collaborative effort between a client and practitioner, guidance surrounding exercise, relaxation techniques, mindfulness, goal setting, journaling and affirmations can be shared and realistically integrated into the clients life to enhance optimal health.
Flower Essences
Flower essences use the vibrational energy of plants to support emotional wellbeing. Each plant has a unique, individual healing property and through the cultivation of this energy, changes on an emotional level can be achieved.
Diagnostics
It can be difficult at times to ascertain what the root cause of underlying imbalances in the body are through case taking and physical examination alone. With the use of diagnostic testing, a deeper insight can be provided on a functional and biochemical level, assisting with providing the best care and support for the individual in question.
