Naturopathic philosophy

What is Naturopathy all about?
It is really very simple, all Naturopaths work with the same natural principles, but they may differ by their personal approach and the natural therapy modalities they use.

Naturopaths aim to restore optimal health by natural means, free of side-effects, and obviously free of drugs and free of harm of any kind.

Naturopaths aim to provide an environment of health and balance in which the natural laws and functions of the body can be re-established to a state of total health.

Total health is more than the mere absence of symptoms, it is the state where you feel absolutely good, in mind, spirit and body.

A Naturopathic Consultation will last about 1 hour, the first consultation will concentrate on examination - health history - natural diagnosis and educating the patient about lifestyle matters. In fact the term Doctor, although not often used for Naturopaths, means to educate.

Naturopath adhere to the Hippocratic Oath - by example;

"I will apply dietetic measures for the benefit of the sick according to my ability and judgment;
I will keep them from harm and injustice".

Naturopaths have to undergo extensive training and have to be members of a recognised Natural Medicine Association.

Prospective patients should make sure that their practitioner of choice has proper Diplomas and Membership certificates.

Private Health Insurances will only refund for registered practitioners.

A Naturopath is trained in differential diagnostics, and will refer patients to a medical Doctor for further tests if need be.
