Naturopathy:
Naturopathy is a holistic approach to wellness based on the principle that the body has the inherent ability to heal itself. Using the healing power of nature and gentle therapeutic techniques, the body, mind and emotions are supported during the healing process.
Naturopathic principles are based on treating each person as an individual and treating the whole person, not just the affected area.
Naturopathy maintains that the body can heal itself if given the right circumstances and conditions. It uses a range of treatments to stimulate the body’s own healing powers (‘vital force’). Treatments include nutrition, dietetics, herbal medicine, homoeopathy and tactile therapies like massage, Chinese cupping. Many of the foundations of naturopathy – such as the importance of diet, clean fresh water, sunlight, exercise and stress management – have been adopted by conventional medicine.
Naturopathy has evolved out of the ancient healing traditions of Europe, with its roots firmly grounded in early Greek medical philosophy but with an expanded and scientific understanding from more modern sources. It is now recognised by mainstream medicine as a valuable and effective treatment for a variety of disorders.
Naturopathy aims to:
• Minimise acute symptoms
• Support the body’s vital force (capacity to self-heal)
• Re-balance the system so that illness is less likely to occur in the future
• Educate the patient to look after their own health and the health of their family.
Commonly treated disorders
The range of disorders commonly treated by naturopaths includes:
• Fatigue
• Digestive complaints, IBS, Crohn’s
• Mood disorders and depression
• Allergy and sensitivities -
• Chronic fatigue syndrome
• Degenerative illnesses, such as arthritis
• Cardiovascular problems
• High blood pressure
• Fertility problems
• Endocrine disturbance
Hormonal imbalances, such as premenstrual tension and menopause.
Homeopathy and Homotoxicology
Homeopathy is a method of medical treatment designed to stimulate the body's own healing processes in order to cure illnesses. It is based upon the discovery that a substance in small doses may alleviate symptoms similar to those it causes at higher doses. The phrase "likes are cured by likes" is often used to describe a basic concept behind homeopathy.
Thus, the two cornerstones of homeopathy are that "likes are cured by likes," and that the remedies are properly diluted to eliminate or minimize their toxic effects.
In homotoxicology, diseases are considered to be ultimately caused by toxins, whether toxic chemicals, bacterial exotoxins, biological endotoxins, post-traumatic cellular debris and also byproducts of the bodies metabolic processes. Furthermore, disease symptoms are said to be the result of the body's attempt to heal itself and should not necessarily be suppressed.
In Homotoxicology, homoeopathicaly manufactured combination products are designed to work with the body's defense mechanisms and facilitate the body's elimination of toxic substances. When used in combination formulations which contain measurable amounts of homeopathically-prepared active ingredients, they can be utilized by Physicians to treat specific indications. Combination homeopathic products in Homotoxicology are easy to understand and use for health care practitioners trained within the conventional medical paradigm, as well as those trained in nonconventional medicine.
Homotoxicology is a bridge between orthodox medicine which has a focus on tissue integrity and homoeopathy which has a focus on the systemic effects of imbalance within the person. Homotoxicology can provide a framework to understand its effect at the tissue level, furthermore it can provide health care solutions which may be used alone or used to complement orthodox treatment without drug interactions.
Understanding homotoxicology
Homotoxicology studies the influences of toxic substances in humans, where symptoms and disease are seen as a result of the appropriate biological resistance to these toxic substances (homotoxins). Homotoxicology views disease as a process within humans - and antihomotoxic preparations are therefore designed to deal with the distinct stages of an illness.
Sports Injuries:
In my practice, I use a combination of deep tissue massage, Chinese cupping and when required Biomesotherapy.
Biomesotherapy: is a Natural treatment which entails the use of combination of acupuncture and Homoeopathy. Biomesotherapy stimulates your body's own healing capacity. The body is encouraged to start healing itself. The practitioner can also approach the body by working on the `major computer,' which consists of several bodily systems including the brain and nervous system. Biomesotherapy aims to normalize nervous system imbalance.
Ankle sprains: Swelling and pain are the symptoms that most require medical assistance. Traumeel (one of the many remedies used) has been shown to be effective for both pain and oedema after injury.
Many knee-injuries result in major impairment of articular function and subsequent gonarthritis. This in turn is one of the leading causes for surgery. Inflammation to the area is the main source of pain for patients, and serves as a gauge for the extent of joint surgery required. Use of Biomesotherapy treatment can result in avoiding major surgery.
In cases of mild to moderate osteoarthritis of the knee, Zeel comp. N is equivalent in efficacy to the COX 2 inhibitors. Zeel comp. N's better tolerability, along with the possibility of avoiding side effects and related costs and improving compliance.

Don’t fight it alone come and do a mood appraisal and see how your brain neuron levels are sitting. You may just be low on Dopamine or Serotonin. With a simple questionnaire we can estimate low levels of vitamins, minerals, essential amino acids which your body may be lacking that are essential for correct brain function.

Herbal medicine may be required in the short term to allow the body to recover.
