Naturopathic
principles
Naturopathy
is the use of natural medicinal products, diet,
therapies and lifestyle advice to
assist and support you in achieving a level of health
that is right for your age and constitution
It assesses the organs and systems of the body in a
wholistic manner - seeking to treat
many aspects that cumulatively affect your vitality.
This is referred to as ‘Preventative
medicine’ and ‘Wellness Care’.
Naturopath’s
do not seek to diagnose as your GP is qualied to do
that brilliantly. Our aim is to
optimise your return to health with supplements and
natural compounds that have scientific
& known efficacy for your presenting
conditions.
Getting
to the cure
An
indepth interview in your first visit enables us to
gather a picture of your personal health
history and functional issues. This covers many organs
and systems of the body - not just the
particular symtom or concern. Many issues have their
roots in past events or secondary
body systems.
~ Iridology or Iris Diagnosis is a tool to inquire into
the constitutional and nutritional
weaknesses in the
tissue of the body via the fibres in the eye.
~ Mineral analysis can detect mineral imblanaces and
excess toxins that have been in
your system.
~ Blood testing for glucose, cholesterol, and
hemaglobin can be done within minutes.
~ Your recent blood tests & prescription
medications are taken into account to determine
& ensure no
unneccessary herb/drug interactions occur and maximise
benefits of
your treatment.
Cumulatively we build a picture - as we look for these
interconnecting aspects and
appraise what our medicines can actually do for you,
without fabrications or falsified
ideas.
