Naturopathy

What is Naturopathy?

Naturopathy is a holistic approach to health, establishing optimum health and well-being by supporting the body’s own natural healing abilities and innate intelligence to return to a state of balance, health and vitality.

Naturopathy draws on many forms of natural medicine such like naturopathic nutrition, supplementation, herbal medicine, detoxification techniques and lifestyle changes to re-establish a happier ‘internal terrain’ for health to flourish.

How can naturopathy help you?

In today’s modern world we are constantly exposed to various stresses be it environmentally such like pollution, chemicals, medications, surgery along with being subject to periods of ineffective elimination, toxicity, poor nutrition, lack of exercise and our own inherent genetic and mental predisposition to certain diseases and illness.

In the drive to achieve good health all these areas need to be examined with the aim of limiting the imbalances, weaknesses and dis-harmonies caused by them in the past, present and future.

A naturopath will guide and educate you in addressing the causes of imbalances and dis-harmony in the body creating an environment for your optimum health to thrive.
