Naturopathy is a system of medicine which applies a wide range of natural therapies to stimulate the body’s own innate ability to heal. Common examples of naturopathic medicine are Acupuncture, Homeopathy, Herbal Medicine.

Among the fundamental principles of Naturopathy are the following:-

• Nature has the innate ability to heal, typically through stimulation of the immune system
• Identify and treat the underlying cause of the condition, do not just treat the symptoms
• Treat the whole person, treatment plans should take into account all aspects of a person’s being and align with underlying cause
• Do no harm, never use treatment which may create other conditions or interfere with treatment plans already in place e.g. under the guidance of a General Practitioner
• Prevention is better than cure, guide patients to help them maintain good health

Naturopathic advice is included as part of my treatment program. In practice this will comprise diet and lifestyle guidance, and recommendation of vitamins, supplements and health foods.

Following this guidance throughout the program will support and expedite healing. Some elements may carry on after the program in order to maintain wellness and prevent reoccurrence of the condition that the patient presented with.
