Naturopathy 

Naturopathy is a system of healing that aims to provide holistic healthcare by drawing on treatment methods from several traditional systems of medicine. It looks at food as medicine and works by strengthening the body’s natural defence system and helping the body’s natural ability to heal itself.

Naturopaths are highly qualified practitioners. The laws surrounding the dispensing of herbal medicines are just as stringent as those surrounding prescription drugs bought from a regular pharmacy. Only qualified naturopaths are allowed to sell our herbal mixtures and tablets from the dispensary – and we have a qualified naturopath on duty every day!

How do naturopaths diagnose and treat?
A naturopath will work with your symptoms rather than suppress them, in an effort to understand the underlying causes of any illness. A naturopath will then design a treatment that addresses the whole picture – for example, if you are suffering stress which is causing you headaches, a naturopath will not just treat the headache, they will help you work out ways in which you are better able to cope with stress. They may suggest diet or lifestyle changes to help your body deal naturally with any illnesses or weaknesses it may be fighting. However, do not stop taking any medications without consulting your doctor first.
