Hippocrates, the founder of modern medicine was himself a naturopath in as much as he used all natural means available to him to promote healing and alleviate disease. His motto was "Primum non nocere - First do no harm" and he was dedicated, as is every qualified Naturopath to using natural non-invasive approaches to attain, maintain and retain optimum health. A Naturopath empowers you to take control of your own healing by guiding you to discover the root causes of imbalance and educating you to adjust certain life style choices to improve your health and well-being and prevent or reverse disease. We are sometimes referred to as the miracle doctors when certain so called chronic or incurable diseases just disappear.with simple lifestyle changes, detoxification, natural therapies and vitamin and mineral supplementation. Due to modern farming methods, environmental toxins, EMF pollution, the unhealthy western diet and stressful lifestyles most of us are lacking the essential nutrients that our bodies require in order to function efficiently, repair themselves and remain healthy.
From your very first consultation your Naturopath will take the time necessary to examine you and your lifestyle, listen to your major concerns and begin to make observations which will improve your situation. The Naturopath will then carry out a detailed assessment and in light of their findings and in conjunction with your own preferences or requirements will outline a personal course of action or treatment for you.
Your Naturopath respects and treats you as the unique individual you are. Their objective is to find and help prevent or remove the cause of illness or dis-ease rather than merely suppress symptoms. Always at the heart of their approach is that you, the client:-
1. understand and learn more about your body and its' systems and how they work together in synergy
2. understand the main underlying causes of dis-ease
3. understand and embrace the simple steps necessary to regain and take control of your health both for now and the future.
