maintains that the body can heal itself if given the right circumstances and conditions. It uses a range of treatments to stimulate the body’s own healing powers (‘vital force’).
Treatments include Nutrition, Dietetics, Herbal Medicine and Homoeopathy. Naturopathy has a strong focus on the prevention of health problems and the early detection of a person’s likelihood of developing a health disorder. Mental, physical, spiritual and environmental factors each play a role. Naturopaths take all of these factors into consideration when developing treatment.
Traditionally, Naturopathy focuses on gentle, non-invasive therapies that enhance the healing process. Naturopathy is also very effective at treating acute and chronic health issues.
Naturopathy aims to:
-
Minimise acute symptoms
-
Support the body’s vital force (capacity to self-heal)
-
Re-balance the system so that illness is less likely to occur in the future
-
Educate the patient to look after their own health and the health of their family.
