Naturopathy Consultations
What is Naturopathy?
Naturopathy is a system of health care using traditional healing wisdom with current health science knowledge.
It facilitates your connection back into relationships with natural systems and addresses not only your symptoms but also the underlying causes.
The emphasis is to support your body’s own inherent capacity to bring about balance and self-heal. Naturopathy is a holistic approach, based on treating each person as an individual and treating the whole person - body, mind, emotions and spirit.
Herbal medicines, Nutritional supplements, Diet and lifestyle recommendations are used as natural treatments to address health conditions and treat disease.
Herbal Medicines
Herbal medicines are the first medicines, with thousands of years of use around the world. Their effectiveness is constantly being substantiated with published scientific literature and clinical trials. In many cases they are found to be as effective as pharmaceutical drugs without the unwanted side effects.
My herbal dispensary contains over 100 different liquid herbal extracts and herbal pill formulations. This extensive dispensary means you receive a very specific and individualized herbal medicine to address your health condition.
The herbs are produced by MediHerb, a well-known Australian company that supplies high quality herbal medicines and nutritional supplements using the latest clinical research and manufacturing technology.
Diet and Nutrition
A healthy diet is central to a healthy individual. With a busy lifestyle and the convenience of industrialized food systems, GMO foods and soil depletion many of my clients have sub-optimal nutrition, deficient in key vitamins, minerals and antioxidants.
A diet with too many grains, processed foods, sugar, unhealthy hydrogenated fats and without enough fresh organic fruit and vegetables, healthy fats, fish, nuts and seeds is the root of many health issues.
This 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.
To correct chronic deficiencies and address symptoms often nutritional supplements are used as a bridge to a healthy diet. My nutritional dispensary contains a wide range of practitioner only supplements which are superior to retail brands.
