Naturopathy
Naturopathy is a personalised and holistic approach to health care. Its aim is to alleviate symptoms and facilitate wellness by treating the underlying cause of illness and correcting any nutritional deficiencies and/or hormonal imbalances.
Naturopathic medicine enhances the body’s natural healing ability, restoring healthy function and vitality with the use of evidence based Practitioner Only natural medicines, such as herbal and nutritional medicine. Diet therapy and nutrition is an integral part of naturopathy along with a focus on lifestyle factors such as exercise, stress, and sleep quality.
With the use of Integrative and Functional Pathology testing and other indicated diagnostic tests (iridology, blood analysis, zinc taste test), naturopathy provides a preventative and proactive approach to optimise health and wellbeing.
