What is Naturopathy?
The guiding principles of Naturopathy are to encourage the body’s inherent ability to heal, by removing the obstacles to health.
The practitioner’s role is to look for the root causes of the presenting health condition and to treat these, rather than just treating the symptoms. The practitioner will look at the whole person by investigating all the body systems to see which ones need support.
The treatment will be individualised for each patient. An initial consult will include thorough questioning and further testing, if needed, to formulate a plan. This plan will be based upon the goals of the patient and also what they are capable of taking on in a flexible and supportive environment.
