What is a naturopath

Bachelor of health science (naturopathy)

A Clinical Naturopath uses an integrative approach to health and wellbeing. evidenced-based medicine, the latest clinical research, functional pathology, nutrition and lifestyle practices are all utilised and tailored to the clients needs to create a structured, individualised health care plan for long term health and wellbeing.

Principles of naturopathy

first do no harm

the basis of all medical practitioners is to nurture the client back to health. Naturopaths use the least invasive measures to facilitate a clients health journey and will refer the client to other health practitioners when the needs of the client can be better met elsewhere or collaboratively

the healing power of nature

creating a healthy inward and outward environment to thrive in is an integral part of an individual’s health journey. Using nature’s principles, medicinal herbs, removing stressors and improving one’s natural environment is a key part of working with a naturopath

identify and treat the cause

many chronic health conditions are symptomatically treated to improve quality of life. whilst a naturopath will use symptom suppression to relieve pain in some cases, the main goal surrounding In depth discussion in a consultation will be identifying the cause or precipitating factors of the complaint. this allows the client greater understanding and greater chances of increasing vitality

doctor as teacher

building solid communication foundations with clients is an excellent tool in improving health and wellbeing. Education is a major theme in naturopathic principles. facilitating health literacy allows clients to take back control of their own health journey.

treat the whole person

naturopaths aim to support not only your emotional, physical and spiritual health but also to identify disturbing factors in your lifestyle, environment and daily habits that may sway your state of health. treating the whole person also means integrating naturopathy with other key health faculties to best treat the person’s current state of wellbeing

prevention

naturopaths emphasise and encourage what daily rituals and changes you can put in place to prevent illness and disease rather than recurrent treatment or relief. Naturopathic preventative strategies promote vitality and encourage clients to live better and more balanced lives.
