Therapies
Naturopathy
Naturopathy is a form of healing and its philosophy is based on a holistic approach, taking into consideration not only the physical, but also the emotional, mental and spiritual states of an individual. All these aspects are interrelated and the use of naturopathy creates balance by nurturing the whole person. No two people with the same disease will manifest exactly the same symptoms and a naturopath can help uncover the underlying causes of an individuals susceptibility to a disease. The use of natural medicines encourages healing, supports wellbeing, and assists in disease prevention without the risk of side effects.
Herbal Medicine
Herbal medicine has been used for hundreds of years to treat ill health and many of the drugs used today have their roots in these ancient medicines. Herbal medicine looks at the deeper causes of an illness instead of just the symptoms. It encourages the bodys natural healing process by restoring wellness. Herbal medicine can be used instead of orthodox medicine or as an adjunct to improve their efficacy.
It must be noted that only accredited practitioners can purchase herbal liquids for blending and dispensing. These practitioners have been trained on herb-drug interactions which is very important to consider when the individual is taking other medications.
