What is Naturopathy?
Naturopaths believe the
body has the ability to heal itself. The body gives signs as to
what is wrong, which the naturopath has been trained to interpret and
therefore help to heal. This is all done through a very thorough and
detailed case history and iridology analysis.
Iridology is the art of looking at a
person’s iris in order to determine its genetic strengths and
limitations. Every iris is different, and it gives clues as to
why the person is unwell, and what is the best way to approach
healing. This is the reason why everyone is unique, and what
works for one person may not work for another even though they may have
the same illness.
Naturopaths can help with many conditions.
Naturopaths can assist with both acute and chronic illnesses, things
that you may have had for a short while, or years. Naturopaths
can assist people of all ages – from before a baby is born, to
people at the end of life’s journey. If applied correctly,
Naturopathic treatment has long-lasting effects on health. It is
lifestyle changing rather than symptom focused. Naturopath and patient
work together to improve their health.

In fact, most things that a person goes
to their GP for, a naturopath can also assist with, however naturopaths
use nutritional supplements, herbs, and homeopathic remedies in order
to help the body achieve health, rather than pharmaceutical
drugs.
Naturopaths also educate their patients
so that they can become healthier people and achieve optimal health in
the long term. This is done by analysing the diet and lifestyle,
looking for areas it can be realistically improved.
