NATUROPATHY
Naturopathy is a system of alternative/complementary medicine, which reunite people with the laws of nature. The aim is to restore balance in the body and mind, using naturopathic principles to encourage the body’s self-healing mechanisms to regain overall health and wellness. The corner stone of naturopathy is Vitalism, or the restoration of vital energy, that can be stimulated or suppressed. Vital force can be suppressed by stress, pollution, unhealthy diet, intoxication and can be stimulated by the re-connection with nature, the exposure to fresh air, forest walks, energetic of foods, sunshine, detoxification, deep breathing and much more .
Naturopathic principles
Focus on the healing power of nature
Treat the Cause, not a Symptom
Treated the ‘Whole’ person
The Person is Treated, Not the Disease
Disease Stems from Imbalance
Addressing Deficiency and Excess
Prevention is Preferable to Cure
Ailments Should Not be Suppressed
Health is More Than ‘Absence of Infirmity’
Focus on bio-individuality
Disease is Due to the Internal Environment
A Naturopath is an Educator
A naturopath, uses clinical tools such as herbal medicine, clinical nutrition, nutritional supplements, homoeopathy, traditional Chinese medicine, fasting, Bach remedies and Iridology, offering first and foremost a unique patient-centered approach to each consultation
“Naturopathy is both an art and a science. For healing to be effective, it must be congruent with nature’s laws.
Naturopathy is an alignment with nature herself; a harmonious integration with the natural environment.
“We are manifestations of what we eat, drink, breathe, think and believe” (CNM, The College of Naturopathic Medicine)
In the field of naturopathic medicine, true healing comes from addressing the root causes of imbalance across all levels—physical, emotional, energetic, and constitutional. My approach integrates a range of traditional and natural therapies to create deeply personalised wellness strategies. Homeopathy offers gentle, yet powerful remedies that support the body’s natural healing intelligence, addressing both physical symptoms and underlying emotional patterns. Iridology and tongue mapping are valuable assessment tools, helping to identify constitutional strengths, organ imbalances, digestive health, and systemic stress through non-invasive visual analysis. Drawing from Ayurveda and Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM), I also incorporate principles of food energetics, which assess the thermal and energetic effects of foods on the body, tailoring nutrition to support your unique constitution and current state of health. Herbal medicine provides targeted support using natural plant compounds to modulate inflammation, detoxification, digestion, and hormonal health. Bach flower remedies offer emotional support, helping to restore mental and energetic balance gently. This multi-layered, integrative approach is at the heart of our training in naturopathic medicine, aiming not just to treat symptoms, but to restore balance, vitality, and long-term wellbeing.
