The body has the capacity to heal itself given the right conditions with Naturopathic medicine.
Naturopath's use a range of diagnostic methods to determine the health status in the body and can often successfully pin-point a predisposition. The first consultation will take approximately one hour where your medical history and life history will be taken to get a full picture.
They may use other skills including: iridology, (looking into the iris), look at your tongue and nails and if needed, pathology testing such as hair, stool or blood analysis.
The Princials of Naturopathy are:
the healing pwer of nature - nature has the innate ability to heal
Identify and treat the cause - there is always an underlying cause, be it physical, mental or emotional
Do no harm - a Naturopath will never use treatments that may create other conditions
Treat the whole person - when preparing a treatment plan, all aspects of a person's being are taken into consideration
The Physician is a teacher - a Naturopath empowers the patient to take responsibility for his/her own health by teaching self-care.
Prevention is better than cure – a Naturopath may remove toxic substances and situations from a patient’s lifestyle to prevent the onset of further disease.
