TREAT THE WHOLE PERSON
Naturopathy has been around for hundreds of years; from Hippocrates, Galen & Culpepper. Naturopathy follows the following basic principles:
Treat the cause
To do no harm
Doctor as teacher
The healing force of nature
Treat the whole person
Prevention is better than cure
A naturopath uses food as medicine, herbalism and environment in their approach to recommend a suitable treatment plan for each individual. Modern day approaches such as diagnostic testing can also be used to help support their clients. Often vitamins, minerals and herbs can be prescribed to help support and nourish organs and body systems.
Everyone is different, and this is why a thorough health history is taken in your first visit to a naturopath. Your body is one big puzzle and it can take time to find any missing pieces. Unfortunately there can be no quick fixes when it comes to treatment.
If we were just to treat the symptoms, the underlying cause would still be there.
