No Nonsense Naturopathy

 

Six foundational principles underpin the practice of naturopathy:

 

• The healing power of nature 

• First do no harm

• Find and treat the cause whenever possible, not only the symptoms

• Treat the whole person

• Education

• Prevention

 

These six principles are kept in mind when a naturopath takes your case, develops a treatment plan and ongoing maintenance for long term good health.

 

Naturopaths treat both acute and chronic conditions and naturopathic care is well suited to anyone at any age.  Naturopaths use various modalities in their practice. These may include: herbal medicine, nutritional medicine, homeopathy, dietary and lifestyle advice, and other therapies.  

 

Naturopaths can work alongside your GP or other health professional to offer you the best patient-centred care. 

 

Naturopathic training typically involves a diploma or degree level qualification. Naturopaths are accredited by professional associations, which ensure that practitioners have undergone the required training, and comply with the highest standards of naturopathic practice. This allows naturopaths to register with private health funds and also to be licensed to dispense TGA controlled health supplements.
