Naturopathy developed in Europe in the eighteenth century and came into prominence because of its opposition to the rise of allopathy (western medicine), with it’s bleedings, purging’s and use of crude drugs. The message from the early Naturopaths was clear, there are no diseases, only mistakes in the habits of living. 

Essentially, the Human body can be thought of as a self healing organism, given a clean environment and wholesome foods the body will cope well.

The Western Diet and the many stressors in our life, such as emotional or mental concerns, a build up of metabolic wastes, residue from foods and other environmental sources can congest the body. When this occurs the cells and tissue of the body becomes morbid and degenerative.  As this occurs the body is open to invasion from various pathogens and illness sets in.

Naturopathy seeks to determine the underlying  cause of illness and treat a person with a wholistc approach. In doing so I will take into account the physical, mental and emotional state of each person as an individual. A healthy body leads to a healthy mind and without a healthy mind, there will be no healthy body.

A Naturopath provides informative knowledge that focuses on clean living habits and living in unity with our environment. Our environment is also considered to be our physical body, therefore, it is imperative that our channels of elimination, such as the lungs, bowel or kidneys are functioning effectively. Thus preventing  an accumulation of metabolic waste or residues.

During the Naturopathic consultation I may use any one of my modalities which consist of; Naturopathic Nutrition, Herbal Medicine, Complex Homoeopathic remedies, Iridology or Remedial Massage. In doing so, I am able to offer a comprehensive understanding of the person with their individual complaints along with a wide choice of treatment options.
