What is a Naturopath?
Naturopathy is based in prinicple on Natural Medicine. Naturopaths work to understand the connectivity between the many and varied symptoms you present with to find their ‘root cause’, whether presenting in your physical or mental health or more commonly a combination of both.
Detection comes through building a comprehensive profile of the person using diagnostic and functional tools. Once the cause is established, the Naturopath can employ a range of ‘natural tools' in their approach. My specialism is Nutrition and I particularly favour the functional medicine approach, but I can also employ herbal medicine, Homeopathy, Bach flowers, traditional Chinese medicine and acupuncture in supporting people to achieve and optimse their health.
One of the main principles of naturopathy is that everyone is different – genetically, biochemically, structurally and psychologically. As such, we all respond differently to our environment and life’s challenges.
The naturopaths’ approach is therefore tailored to the person, not driven by any specific disease or condition. It promotes and supports the body’s ability to restore, maintain and optimise, restore and maintain our physiological, physical, and mental/emotional health.
Through investigations, they will seek to identify the root causes of your ill health and/ or limitations or barriers in performance and means you have the best opportunity to reach your optimal potential!
There are many different reasons why people come see a Naturopath. Sometimes the reasons and symptoms people initially present can appear unrelated to the health plan rationale put in place. It’s the role of your Naturopath to explore and explain the connections and ensure we impart information that empowers you in making positive health choices that work for you…
