Naturopathy
Naturopathy is a system of complementary or alternative health care based on the principle that nature heals and that our bodies have the inherent ability to maintain and restore health. Naturopaths look for the underlying causes of disease and help you to eliminate them and take charge of maintaining your own good health using natural choices and treatments. Naturopathy places much emphasis on preventative medicine and maintaining a healthy diet and lifestyle in order to be healthy. This also includes taking care of mental, emotional and spiritual well-being. Naturopathy can help in the management of a broad range of health conditions affecting all people of all ages. The following are just a few examples:
Allergies
Headaches
Digestive Problems
Many Skin Conditions
Candida Albicans
Recurrent Coughs / Colds
Sinus Problems
Arthritis
Chronic Fatigue & M.E.
Joint Pains
Weight Problems
Low Energy
Diagnostic tools and treatments
One or more of the following may be used depending on individual needs. See relevant pages for more information:
Nutrition and Lifestyle Coaching – The starting point of a naturopathic consultation is a comprehensive assessment that teaches you the foundation principles of leading a healthy lifestyle which include proper nutrition, proper exercise, adequate water intake and the right amount of rest and sleep.
Osteopathy – I use manual therapy to diagnose and treat muskulo-skeletal problems.
Hydrotherapy – Hot and cold packs are sometimes used to relieve pain and to stimulate the blood circulation and the immune system.
