naturopathy

Naturopathy is a system of Natural Medicine that recognizes the existence of a vital curative force within the body. It is a method of healing that employs natural and safe approaches to bring to an individual health and vitality.

A Naturopath is a health care professional who is aware of the relation between diet, lifestyle, genetic, environmental, mental, emotional and spiritual influences on your health and wellbeing.is a primary health care practitioner trained in physiology, anatomy, pathology, clinical diagnosis, herbal medicine, nutrition Medicine, homoeopathy, psychology, Iridology,tactile therapies, etc.

As a Naturopath I use in my treatment mainly diet and nutrition. Although, all nutrients essential to health should be provided by sound nutrition, there will be a need for nutritional supplementation (vitamins and minerals) in our 21st Century world because:

In addition, I use herbal medicine who are made from plants. Many plants have been traditionally used for various illness due to their therapeutic effects and currently research is validating their use. Herbs contain active ingredients which influence reactions in the body.

We all know there are shelves full of supplements in supermarkets, pharmacies and health food stores. Which one should you choose? Be aware that you can waste a lot of money by trying to self-prescribe. Besides how do you know what your body needs and in which amounts? A Naturopath will have the training and knowledge to understand the complexity of your condition and will be able to prescribe the correct nutrients in the amount that your body needs.

A Naturopath will have access to practitioner-only supplements which are formulated to address certain underlying metabolic disorder in your body in order to restore proper functioning of the cells of your body. In general all supplementation prescribed by a Naturopath will have been researched.
