Naturopathy
Naturopaths use a combination of science based and traditional medical knowledge to look at all aspects of an illness – mentally, emotionally and physically. Rather than suppressing symptoms, Naturopaths seek to find the absolute root cause of an illness and treat with Nature accordingly.
​
In an Initial Consult, Naturopaths ask many questions about life, from birth to present. They treat what is necessary for the individual’s body at that time, whether that be using herbs, supplements, foods, lifestyle changes, or a variety of other holistic prescriptions (or other complementary medicines). Our busy and stressful lives may require some flexibility around healing, so Naturopathy works with you, wherever you are in life.
​
Live as Nature intended us to - you don’t have to live with chronic disease, regular sickness and/or other health problems. Naturopathy can be used as a preventative medicine, or to manage specific condition(s). No short or long term health concern is too big or small for natural medicine.
