NATUROPATHY

Naturopathy is the practice of individualised holistic healing based upon six core principles.

1. First, do no harm

2. The healing power of nature

3. Treat the root cause

4. Treat the whole person

5. Doctor as teacher

6. Prevention

A naturopathic consultation firstly identifies a client’s needs and expectations in relation to their health issue. It encompasses a thorough health history of the client incorporating elements of family health history, potential environmental exposures and looks for barriers to healing. Interpreting dietary analysis, blood test results and other functional testing may be undertaken with the client. Individualised treatment plans may incorporate dietary and lifestyle recommendations, prescription of nutritional or herbal supplements and/or liquid herbal blends.

The most rewarding aspect of naturopathy, as in any healing profession, is being able to guide and empower the client on their own health journey.
