WHAT IS NATUROPATHY
Naturopathy is founded on the ancient belief in the power of the body to heal itself under optimal conditions Naturopaths work within a holistic framework, choosing to treat the whole person rather than just treating the disease. As such we seek to identify the causes of ill-health rather than treating symptoms alone. This is done by assessing imbalances on emotional / mental, physical and spiritual levels. Diet, combined with non-invasive therapies are used if necessary to stimulate and support the healing process on one or more of these levels.
NATUROPATHIC CONSULTATIONS
During the initial consultation a detailed medical and lifestyle history will be taken. This information will be used to develop a treatment plan tailored toward your specific needs. Allow one hour for your first consultation and 40 minutes for subsequent visits.
PLEASE BRING TO THE INITIAL CONSULTATION A LIST OF :
1) all prescribed medications
2) all supplements (vitamins, minerals, fish oils etc.)
FORMS OF TREATMENT
- Herbal Medicine
- Flower Essences
- Mineral Therapy
- Dietary Recommendations
- Nutritional Supplements
- Counselling
HERBAL MEDICINE
For thousands of years many cultures have observed and experienced the healing power of plants. Herbal medicine, the oldest form of medicine is currently used by over 75% of the world’s population as its primary form of medicine. Traditional herbal remedies differ from modern drugs in that the whole plant is used to produce remedies, rather than extracts of individual chemicals. This is based on the belief that the whole plant is greater than the sum of its parts.
Herbal medicine can successfully treat a wide variety of common illnesses. For example, skin disorders, arthritis, asthma, bronchitis, menopause, PMS , female reproductive problems, and digestive complaints.
FLOWER ESSENCES
Flower essences were developed in the early 20th century by Dr. Edward Bach. Working with his patients led him to believe that the harmful emotions, such as despair, fear, and depression may, if left untreated, manifest into physical health problems.
Flower essences address our mental, emotional and spiritual imbalances and facilitate healing by harmonizing the vibrations of the body’s subtle energy systems.
They help to lighten your load by improving your mood and increasing self-awareness, understanding, self-confidence and the ability to positively respond to a situation.
MINERAL THERAPY
While minerals account for only a small percentage of our body weight, they are absolutely essential for growth and bodily functions. Mineral deficiencies lead to a whole host of conditions. Minerals in the form of tissue salts may be prescribed alone or as part of a dietary program.
DIET
The links between disease and poor diet have long been recognized by medical doctors, scientists, and natural therapists.
Naturopaths seek to explore avenues by which a persons health and well being can be improved by modifying their diet. Here the emphasis is on unprocessed whole foods.
NUTRITIONAL SUPPLEMENTS
While it is clear that a balanced diet offers many health benefits, there are times when the use of specific supplements may be necessary.
For example:
- Pregnancy
- Physiological and psychological stress
- Specific medical conditions
- High impact sports / activity
- Restoring existing deficiencies
- Weight loss / gain
- Menopause / PMT, & hormonal balancing
- Digestive disorders
COUNSELING
While much attention is given to physical health we sometimes fail to consider our emotional / mental well-being. Often a quick-fix solution is sought when faced with a difficult situation. However, ongoing emotions such as depression, anxiety, anger and distress remain long after the event. Counseling provides the time and space to explore ways in which to understand emotions, gain a greater sense of control, while helping to dissolve patterns of unhelpful behaviour.
