Naturopathy uses a holistic approach, taking into account the functioning of all body systems. Whilst factoring in physical symptoms, naturopaths also address stress levels, sleep issues and mental/emotional health and the effect this is having on your system.
Naturopathic medicine aims to get to the underlying cause of illness. Naturopaths address digestive function, bowel health and use iris, nail, tongue and skin signs to ascertain what could be causing ill health. Lab testing may also be used to determine causative factors.
Naturopathic medicine treats the body as a whole connected being rather than focusing on individual body parts and symptoms. Natural medicines and nutrition are used to help rebalance and bring back homoeostasis.
In the first appointment, the persons health history is gathered in detail looking at all body systems. The diet is studied and mental emotional factors, environmental factors and possible toxicities and current treatments and medications will be taken into account.
