About Naturopaths

Are you tired? Sluggish? Overweight? Do you have digestive problems? Cardiovascular, menstrual or menopausal problems?

Do you suffer from joint pain? Skin problems? Panic attacks? Nervous disorders?

Do you generally feel under the weather? Are you suddenly suffering from allergies more than you used to? Have you got flu symptoms? Or do you feel your body needs a ‘spring cleaning’, or detoxification?

If any of these apply to you, consider talking to a Naturopath.

Natural medicine is an effective way of regaining your body’s balance and helping the body to heal itself.

What is naturopathy?

Naturopathy is a holistic approach to bringing a person back to good health. Rather than focusing on individual symptoms, a Naturopath treats the person as a whole.

Naturopathy is a method of helping people to help themselves by natural means. We become diseased when our mind, body or spirit is imbalanced. The body has the ability to heal itself – it just needs the right help at the right time to bring itself to harmony.

The Naturopathic practitioner is defined as one who freely uses various diagnostic tools and treatments to restore health in the patient. This is done in accordance with the individual patient’s needs.

Treatments include:

• Herbalism Cranio-Sacral Therapy
• Fasting
• Detoxification
• Hydrotherapy
• Tissue Salts
• Bach Flower therapy
• Nutritional and lifestyle advice.

The Naturopathic Principles

• Prevention is better than cure
• The underlying cause is identified and not the disease
• There is a Life-Force that, given the right conditions, will self heal or self correct
• The whole person is treated, not the disease
• Each individual is unique, and each person responds in a different way
• A Naturopath is an educator/teacher, empowering the patient to take responsibility for his/her own health
