Naturopathy

What is Naturopathy?

Naturopathy is a holistic system of healthcare that focuses on promoting the body’s inherent ability to heal itself. It is grounded in the belief that the body has an innate ability to maintain and restore optimal health, given the right conditions and support. As a Naturopathic Nutritional Therapist I work with the principles of nature, using natural remedies and therapies to address the root causes of health issues, rather than merely treating symptoms.

Principles of Naturopathy
  • Vis Medicatrix Naturae
    The Healing Power of Nature: Naturopathy recognises the body’s remarkable ability to heal itself and facilitates this healing process by creating the ideal conditions for recovery.
  • Tolle Causam
    Identify and Treat the Root Cause: Naturopathy focuses on uncovering the underlying causes of health issues to achieve long-term wellbeing.
  • Primum Non Nocere
    First, Do No Harm: Naturopathy emphasises the use of natural, non-invasive therapies that have minimal side effects. It aims to avoid harm and minimize the risk of complications.
  • Tolle Totum
    Treat the Whole Person: Naturopathic care takes into account the physical, emotional, mental and environmental factors that can influence your health. It offers a holistic approach to well-being.
  • Praevenicere
    Preventative Care: Naturopathy places a strong emphasis on preventive health measures. Practitioners aim to empower individuals with the knowledge and tools to avoid future health problems.
  • Docere
    Doctor as Teacher: Naturopathic practitioners view themselves as educators, guiding and supporting patients in making informed health decisions.
Benefits of Naturopathy

Naturopathy offers a range of benefits, including:

  • Natural Healing: Naturopathy employs natural therapies, such as herbal medicine, nutrition and lifestyle adjustments, to facilitate healing, which often leads to fewer side effects and a lower risk of complications.
  • Root Cause Resolution: Instead of merely addressing symptoms, Naturopathy works to identify and treat the underlying causes of health issues, resulting in long-term relief and wellbeing.
  • Holistic Wellness: Naturopathy takes into account all aspects of your well-being, including physical, mental and emotional health. It offers a comprehensive approach to improving your overall quality of life.
  • Preventive Health: By focusing on prevention, Naturopathy equips you with the tools and knowledge to maintain optimal health and avoid future health problems.
