Naturopathy

The alternative complementary medicine approach that focusses on evidence-based, gentle non-invasive therapies.

Are you ready for Naturopathy?

Most people tend to let health take a back seat and becomes a priority only when symptoms become increasingly difficult or painful and when there is medical diagnosis.

Don’t ignore the small, nagging symptoms – it is your body’s way of telling you to pay attention and seek treatment if necessary.

Naturopathy is an alternative approach to healing via natural medicine that helps reduce your reliance on drugs and aims to get your health back by addressing the root cause of the problem. Through consultation, It includes customised treatments based on Clinical Nutrition, Herbal Medicine, Plant Extract Supplements and functional medicine to enhance the healing process.

Naturopathy can help with

Arthritis, Auto-immune Diseases, Cancer Support, Cholesterol, High Blood Pressure, Detoxification, Diabetes, Digestive Issues, Gastritis, Fatigue, Fatty Liver, Food Allergies & Intolerance, Hair Fall, Pain Management, Respiratory Problems, Skin Problems, Sleep Disorders & Insomnia, Stress, Anxiety, Depression, Thyroid Problems, Weight Loss, Women’s Hormonal Problems

… and so much more!

Principles of Naturopathy

 

01. The Healing Power of Nature

Naturopath’s role is to help facilitate and activate a person’s own internal healing ability through natural therapies. The body can heal itself if given the right circumstances and conditions, whether the issue is acute or chronic.

 

02. Treat the root cause

Symptoms simply indicate that your body is out of balance. Naturopaths help Identify the underlying causes of disease so that we can treat it to enable the patient to recover or heal from the illness. The treatment for patient is customized as each individual is uniquely different.

 

03. HEAL The whole person

The patient is viewed as a whole person and naturopathic treatment takes into account all aspects of their life that can impact disease and improve healing. This requires a comprehensive approach to diagnosis and treatment.

 

04. Prevention is the best cure

There is also a strong focus on:

  • Prevention of health problems via healthy nutrition, diet, supplements and herbs and evidence-based treatments.

  • Early detection by using certain testing methods e.g. Functional Health Assessments.

Functional Health Assessment

I may recommend Functional Medicine Tests to assess your health condition during consultation. This refers to range of testing protocols that detect underlying issues which doesn’t get highlighted in your normal blood tests. It helps to address health issues earlier and prevent it from becoming more serious. It can also be used to understand why a person is not getting better despite all treatments. As such functional tests are used widely by naturopaths as it takes the guess work out.

Based on the results, I will develop scientifically based nutritional plans and immune-enhancing strategies to aid your natural healing. Talk to me today to assess if any testing may be required to detect any underlying issues that prevents you from achieving optimum health.

Types of Functional Health Assessment

I may recommend the following Functional Testing assessment where applicable.

  • Antioxidant Testing

  • Omron Scan

  • Food Allergy Testing

  • Leaky Gut Testing

  • Heavy Metal Toxicity Test

Benefits of Functional Health Assessment

  • Evidence based assessments

  • Identify your unique biochemical makeup
