NATUROPATHY

What is 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 encompasses a variety of treatment methods including:
  • Herbal Medicine to help prevent and treat various illnesses
  • Dietary and Nutritional advice for restoration of balance, detoxification and prevention of disease
  • Lifestyle advice to promote well-being and to reduce stress
  • Hydrotherapy using the healing power of water to stimulate the immune system and the body's natural defences
  • Flower essences to enhance the emotional aspect of healing
  • The use of compresses and packs to stimulate organ function and to reduce pain
  • Soft tissue manipulation to rebalance the body's systems, to reduce pain and to enable detoxification.
  • Homeopathy

Naturopathy can alleviate a wide range of conditions and is suitable for all ages. However, you do not need to be unwell to benefit from naturopathy.

Naturopathic treatments boost the bodys natural healing potential, restoring harmony and preventing disease.

HOMEOPATHY

WHAT IS HOMEOPATHY?

Homeopathy is an effective and scientific system of healing which assists the natural tendency of the body to heal itself. It recognises that all symptoms of ill health are expressions of disharmony within the whole person and that it is the patient who needs treatment not the disease.

As a new patient, these ideas may be new to you, but homoeopathy has been established for about 200 years.

In 1796 a German doctor, Samuel Hahnemann, discovered a different approach to the cure of the sick which he called homoeopathy (from the Greek words meaning ‘similar suffering’). Like Hippocrates two thousand years earlier he realised that there were two ways of treating ill health, the way of opposites and the way of similar’s.

Take for example, a case of insomnia. The way of opposites, (conventional medicine or allopathy), is to treat this by giving a drug to bring on the artificial sleep. This frequently involves the use of large or regular doses of drugs which can sometimes cause side effects or addiction.

The way of similar’s, the homeopathic way, is to give the patient a minute dose of a substance, such as coffee, which in large doses causes sleeplessness in a healthy person. Perhaps surprisingly this will enable the patient to sleep naturally.

Homoeopathic remedies cannot cause side effects and you cannot become addicted to them. This is because only a very minute amount of the active ingredient is sued in a specifically prepared form.

Your homeopath will give you a homoeopathic medicine or remedy which matches your symptoms as you experience them. This also takes account of you as a person – your individual characteristics emotionally as well as physically.

FLOWER ESSENCE

Bach/Bush Flower Remedies

Flower essences are subtle liquid extracts taken in oral form, which are used to address profound issues of emotional well-being, soul development, and mind-body health.

While the use of flowers for healing has many ancient antecedents, the precise application of flower essence for specific emotions and attitudes was first developed by English physician Dr. Edward Bach, in the 1930s. Today, flower essences are gaining worldwide professional recognition for their significant contribution to holistic health and wellness programs.

ESSENTIAL OILS

How do they help?

In todays society we tend to live in stressful lifestyles with little time for ourselves. Stress can be a catalyst to many discomforts to our physical being Essential oils can help relieve many common physical ailments as well as help us maintain emotional stability.

  • Massage:- is considered one of the most important methods of applying essential oils.
  • Bath:- what better way to relax after a long day at work.
  • Vaporization:- Oil diffusers are an easy and effective way to dispense essential oils.
  • Inhalation:- This is a great way to clear blocked noses.
  • Compresses:- This is a very effective way of using essential oils to relieve pain, swelling and reduce inflammation. Hot compresses are often used to reduce the pain of a chronic nature. Cold compresses can be sued to address acute pain.
