What is Naturopathy?

 

Naturopathy 'nature cure' is a system of health care using the healing power of nature, treating not only the symptoms but also the underlying causes. The emphasis is to support the body’s own inherent capacity to bring about balance and naturally heal the whole self. 

 

The strength of Naturopathy lies in its ability to effectively treat functional disorders which conventional western medicine has limited treatment options for example Irritable Bowel Syndrome, Chronic Fatigue Syndrome, Auto-immune diseases, Fibromyalgia, Insomnia, Hormonal imbalances, Anxiety and  Chronic Stress.

 

A Naturopath aims to give you more responsibility for your health by facilitating a healthy attitude, lifestyle and diet. Herbal medicines, Nutritional supplements, Diet and lifestyle recommendations are used as natural treatments to address health conditions. Naturopathy is a holistic approach to wellness based on treating each person as an individual and treating the whole person - body, mind and emotions.

 

What to expect in consultation?

 

The initial consultation is a process of obtaining a thorough health history and includes an exploration of your symptoms, diet, lifestyle, stress and environmental factors. Physical examination includes checking your skin, nails and tongue, using iridology and may also include recommending clinical and laboratory diagnostic tests.

 

The emphasis of the initial consult is to ascertain the main health issues and provide the most effective natural treatment to address those health issues.

 

The standard follow-up consultations are used  to monitor the progress of the treatment and to examine underlying causes and contributing factors of health issues. In the follow-up consult more time is spent exploring the diet and offering resources such as a health manual with a meal planner and recipes to support a healthy diet and lifestyle.

 

Once your treatment program is established short follow-up consults are used as we continue to work together to improve your health and vitality.

Superfoods, Herbs & Spices Healthy Food
Diet and Nutrition

 

A healthy diet is central to a healthy individual. Many people have sub-optimal nutrition, depleted in key vitamins and minerals due to habitual eating.

 

Generally, we do not eat enough fresh organic fruit and vegetables, healthy fats, fish, nuts and seeds whilst eating too much wheat, sugar, processed foods and unhealthy hydrogenated fats.

 

This type of diet creates a dual problem - the digestive system is over-burdened with refined carbohydrates and sugars and the body is lacking nutrients from healthy foods to function optimally and detoxify the system.

 

The old saying 'You are what you eat' will always ring true because food sustains us and the quality of food you consume will determine the quality of your health.

 

With some health conditions, chronic deficiencies of vitamins and minerals require the use of nutritional supplements to address symptoms and correct underlying causes. Sara-Jane has a wide range of practitioner only supplements which are superior to retail brands.
