Naturopathy is a holistic approach to our health that recognises the individual, how we each have different needs to promote wellness and prevent health issues. It recognises that all aspects of our lives feed into our health, including physical, mental, emotional, spiritual and community, so works to treat the whole person.
Naturopathy promotes optimal vitality and wellness by treating the root cause of one’s symptoms and supporting the body, with the use of nutrition and lifestyle changes, plus supplements, herbal medicine and other tools when needed. A thorough consultation explores all the factors that may be causing your symptoms and empowers you with education and a treatment plan outlining changes that will help restore and manage health.
Nutrition is an important element of naturopathy, playing a key role in restoring and maintaining health by providing nutrients that support our bodies to function well plus prevent and maintain health.
Eating nourishing foods encourages digestive health, which is highly important to the functioning of our whole system. Because a healthy gut ensures what we eat is absorbed and our body can use it where needed including as building blocks for tissue and hormones, to help manage inflammation, stress, mental health and cater to any nutrient deficiencies that can be contributing to our health picture .
By eating a diet that nourishes us, we are promoting more stable energy levels and quality sleep to counteract fatigue and encourage vitality. What we put into our bodies can ensure that the immune system is well supported, reducing the risk of and assisting it to fight off illness.
Please get in touch if you are needing help with your health.
