What is Naturopathy

Naturopathy is a wholistic health framework that respects the body’s ability to heal itself. It is a practice that examines the overall impact of personal choices on your health & wellness, what you can do to correct these, and the education required to help you achieve personal health goals.

Naturopathy draws on traditional historical roots and has evolved into a modern therapeutic discipline. Not many people are aware of the fact that most Naturopaths have training in the biomedical sciences and natural medicine subjects including:

  • Anatomy & physiology
  • Differential diagnosis
  • Pathophysiology
  • Nutrition
  • Pharmacology
  • Herbalism
  • Chemistry
  • Homeopathy
  • Biochemistry
  • Iridology

Naturopathy can work together with allopathic medicine, your own doctor or other health professional to proactively help you manage your personal path to health & wellness. In fact, disclosure with your own GP & other health professionals is encouraged to ensure that there are no contraindication or potential ‘red flags’, to accurately assess what is or is not working for you, and to ultimately ensure that you receive the best possible treatment combination relevant to you and your health goals.

YOU and your health is the most important goal!
