What is Naturopathy?

Naturopathy is a holistic system of natural healing; a form of alternative medicine that focuses on maintaining homeostasis in the body; an outcome of a healthy mind, body, spirit and environment. Naturopathic practitioners use scientific evidence as well as traditional evidence in their practice. As nature and a modernised scientific approach come together to develop the treatment plan, patients are able to witness their body healing itself, as it is given the right support.
Throughout each and every case, naturopaths must abide by the six foundational principles that underpin the practice of naturopathy; The healing power of nature, First do no harm, Find and treat the cause whenever possible, not only the symptoms, Treat the whole person, Education and Prevention.
Both acute and chronic diseases can be covered in consultations. In some cases the naturopathic practitioner will work alongside your GP or other health professionals; to ensure that you are given the best possible care.
