Naturopathic Medicine

How often do you bound out of bed with energy and enthusiasm that keeps you running all day? For most of us, the answer might be ‘not for a very long time’.

The challenges of modern life can be an obstacle to living with optimal health. Daily pressure from life, work and our environment can impact our vitality. Naturopathic Medicine can help you to rediscover your health potential, naturally.

Naturopathy includes the long traditions of Western Herbal Medicine, where plants have been used over the many centuries and throughout many cultures for their medicinal qualities. Many of the phytochemicals in plants are potent medicines, which have been widely researched for their health-giving properties. The art and science of Naturopathy also involves the skilled prescribing of these plant medicines along with the application of Lifestyle medicine and Nutrition.

History tells us that the very first practice of medicine was based on the concepts of vitalism and holism; where the use of food, movement, botanical and nutritional medicine, acupuncture and the laws of nature were used to heal. The Classical Greek Philosopher, Hippocrates born around 400 BC is known as the father of conventional and naturopathic medicine. He embraced these concepts in his style of medicine which is referred to as ‘the healing power of nature’. He believed the human body should be treated as whole not as a sum of its parts. Naturopathic medicine is based on this ancient philosophy and although today’s Naturopaths benefit from the use of modern scientific methods of functional pathology testing, clinical health analysis and treatment, there remains a deep-rooted connection to the healing power of nature.
