What is Naturopathy?
Naturopathy is an integrative system of medicine based on the healing power of nature and uses a variety of therapies and techniques, including herbal medicine, nutrition, homoeopathy, massage, counselling, iridology and flower essences.
The underlying principle of Naturopathy is to heal in harmony with the natural functions of the body, using safe and effective traditional therapies along with the most current advances in modern medicine. Naturopaths treat the whole person, not just the symptoms, and like old-fashioned general practitioners, we take the time to get to know you and each member of your family.
Many people are surprised to learn that Naturopaths are required to be rigorously trained in the medical sciences of anatomy and physiology, chemistry, biochemistry, symptomology, diagnosis and pathology, in addition to studying evidence-based practice, critical thinking and clinical research analysis. Naturopathy is a 3 to 4 year full time course, with graduates having undergone 400 hours of clinical practice before they are qualified. Like most health professions, Naturopaths are required to abide to a professional code of conduct and take part in continuing professional education and development to retain their registration.
Naturopathy is particularly successful in treating:
- Women’s health and fertility
- Weight management
- Hormonal disorders
- Digestive health and detoxification
- Men’s health
- Nervous system complaints
- Colds, flus and poor immune health
- Skin conditions
- Muscle, bone and joint health
- Children’s health
- Healthy ageing
- Low energy and fatigue
