What is Naturopathy?
Naturopathy is a system of health care which offers a holistic approach to the body’s own healing mechanisms. It aims to treat the whole person and not just the symptoms. The body repairs itself given the right environment and opportunity.
Naturopathy involves treatment modalities such as;
- Nutrition– This includes individualised dietary plan and nutritional supplements to support the medical condition and assist in bringing optimum health.
- Herbal Medicine– The use of plants and plant extracts for healing
- Yoga– Yogic postures, breathing techniques, Meditation and Relaxation techniques to optimise internal body functioning, enhance circulation, improve digestive fire, joint flexibility.
- Acupressure– Stimulating specific points around the body to channelize the flow of energy.
- Homeopathy– Homeopathic remedies are very small doses of natural substances that stimulate the body’s natural healing response
- Hydrotherapy– Use of water in different temperatures can bring relaxation and immediate symptom relief from the thermodynamic properties of water.
- Detoxification– Specific methods to eliminate toxins from the body tailored to the individual requirement and medical condition.
How Does A Typical Naturopathy Session Work?
Your Naturopathic Doctor will initially spend 1 – 1.5 hours taking details of your health history, stress levels, lifestyle & dietary habits, medical conditions and presenting symptoms.
This allows your practitioner to build up a complete picture of your current and past health issues and gives them an idea of the best way to approach you and your health.
During your appointments your Doctor will then give you relevant suggestions to eliminate the root cause and bring balance in your body, mind and spirit.
