What is a Naturopath?
Considered the"natural health physician", a naturopath specialises in the provision of natural healthcare support.
Naturopaths seek to address the underlying causes of your health problem and work with you to acheive and maintain great physical, mental and emotional health. Naturopaths will prescribe and apply natural medicines and therapies that support the body to activate its own inherent healing & balancing abilities.
Why use a Naturopath?
In today's world of seemingly ever-increasing threats to our health and a diminishing faith in the chemical and surgical solutions offered to us, many people are choosing to return to common sense and historical treatment options that have stood the test of time. An increasing number of studies are proving the worth of these treatments, and validating their safety.
Naturopathic medicine is philosophically different from conventional medicine.
Conventional (allopathic) medicine excels at emergency medicine and symptom management. The strength of naturopathic medicine is its focus on identifying the underlying cause of the condition and helping the patient to change those conditions. Whereas conventional medicine relies heavily on pharmaceutical drugs, naturopathic medicine relies primarily on diet, lifestyle, and natural products (e.g. vitamins, herbs) as treatment interventions.
Naturopathy can be seen as a natural approach to health, incorporating many elements or therapies which would be useful to stimulate the body's various systems and restore it to a state of equilibrium, often restoring health where other options have failed. This is because the individual is seen as a whole, not merely the sum of the parts. Thus connections between dysfunctions in one area and symptoms in another are made and treated.
Naturopathic management strategies aim to restore health, not merely reduce symptoms.
Strategies to free the body of toxins and rectify other imbalances which interfere with its functions, causing ill-health, disease and general malaise using a number of therapies, such as herbal remedies, nutritionand recommendations to make imporant lifestyle changes are common.. Your naturopath will support you along this journey.

A typical consultation is very in-depth, usually lasts an hour and a half for a first visit, and half an hour for subsequent visits. You can expect this consultation to cover many aspects of your lifestyle and diet, as well as your emotional, mental and physical state.
There may be occasions when you will be referred to a doctor or other health professional if it is deemed appropriate.
