NATUROPATHIC NUTRITION

Naturopathy or ‘nature cure’ has as its fundamental principle the healing power of nature. It is a complementary medicine which emphasises the body’s intrinsic ability to heal and maintain itself. A Naturopath is a natural health care professional whose aim is how best to support each patient towards wellbeing – whether physical, mental or emotional.

A naturopathic nutritionist will seek to identify and address the underlying cause of the health issue, focusing on treating the whole person, realising the mind and body are interconnected.  This is achieved by using functional medecine tools to asses any imbalances, intolerances, deficiencies or excesses that an individual may have and then working to address these needs by suggesting manageable strategies and solutions to establish health and wellness.

Naturopaths focus on the use of natural remedies such as herbs, foods and vitamin and mineral supplementation rather than synthetic drugs and surgery in order to help a patient and may use a variety of different treatment methods. Naturopathic medicine relies not only on hundreds of years of medical tradition; it also incorporates the latest related medical research.
