In Naturopathic treatment, we (naturopaths) use natural medicine such as herbal medicine, food, homeopathy, flower remedies. We treat patients in a holistic way. We are not focusing on patients’ symptoms, we are treating the whole person. Say, if a client has stomachache, GP will just give a medication. However, we normally find the problem which caused the stomachache through a consultation. If the cause comes from lack of fibre, we give dietary advice. If the patient has a social problem which creates the stomachache, we prescribe flower remedies.
I mainly use herbal medicines for physical complaint and flower remedies for mental problems. I also advice vitamins and mineral intake if the client need them.
The first consultation will last for 1 hour but from the second consultation, you don’t need to sit so long.
What is naturopathy?
Naturopathy helps to cure people wituout using orthodox medicines.
Instead of chemical drugs, naturopaths use complementary alternative medicines (CAM)
such as food, vitamins and minerals, herbal medicines, flower remedies and homeopathy.
Naturopaths treat patients in a holistic way.
Who seeks treatment?
We treat anything from colds and flu to other ailments. People who are intolerant to orthodox medicines
can be treated with naturopathy. As a matter of fact, I started to use CAM for this reason.
Generally, we frequently treat fatigue, stress, anxiety, digestive complaints, weakened immune systems,
weight management, sugar cravings, menopause, PMS, irregular periods, prostate (BPH), preconception care,
allergies,osteo arthritis (OA), rheumatoid arthritis (RA), headaches, migraines and cholesterol management.
Chronic sinusitis
A boy suffered from chronic sinusitis for 14 years. Allergy test revealed that he has no allergy. But GP just gave him medications and when he took them, he had stomach irritation and harritosis. After naturopathic consultation, a lump was found on his neck. It was there since he was 3 years old. He was sent off to a osteopath. His lymph node was cleared by the therapist. Since then he is medication free. He just need a regular massage by his mum. The generous osteopath taught her how to treat her son.
Pimple on eyes
3 year-old girl had a pimple on her eyes and went to GP. Her mother found out the pimple made from cholesterol. Diet modification had alleviated her symptom.
