Naturopathy has been around for thousands of years – the original healing paradigm. This holistic approach to wellness supports total physical, mind and emotional health. The body has an inherent ability to heal itself through the healing power of natural wholesome foods, natural medicines e.g. nutritional supplements or herbal medicines if needed, and gentle therapeutic techniques. Naturopathy is governed by the following principles:
- To identify and treat the cause of dis-ease that is contributing to the symptoms
- Ensure that no harm comes to the individual during the treatment process
- Educate and empower clients to be responsible for their own health and well-being
- To treat the whole person – considering their physical, mental and emotion health, not just the symptoms
- Provide treatment that has been scientifically proven and in some cases treatments that have been used successfully for thousands of years
