NATUROPATHY
Naturopathic medicine focuses on diagnosis, treatment and prevention of disease using natural therapies. Our initial consult can seem long, but we want to fully understand what is going on for you and this enables us to make a comprehensive assessment of your needs and establish an individualised treatment plan to achieve your health goals. MEDICAL HERBALISM Using flowers, plants, berries, seeds, roots and leaves (often called herbs). Medical herbalism has been used for many centuries, but is only now becoming more widely known. If you are taking any medication, we will check to ensure that they will not interfere with each other. DIET AND NUTRITION As part of your treatment plan, we will look at how to improve your diet and nutrition. Diet planning will include analysis of when you eat, what you eat and how diet plays a part in how you feel and how it can impact on your health. We will explore healthy food options and how to incorporate healthy choice into your diet. INFRA-RED SAUNA Our infra-red sauna is a therapy that has been well researched and used in medical practices for over a hundred years. Infra-red saunas emit a lower heat than traditional saunas but still give the same benefit. The world famous Mayo Clinic states: "Several studies have looked at using infra-red saunas in the treatment of chronic health problems, such as high blood pressure, congestive heart failure and rheumatoid arthritis, and found some evidence of benefit.” Read more about the potential benefits of infrared sauna here. |
