NATUROPATHIC TREATMENTS
NUTRITION
We are what we eat. We are
how we utilise our food.
Deficiencies can
be caused by either poor quality food, inefficiencies of our
digestive systems (digestion, absorption, utilisation and elimination
of waste). Good nutrition is ensured with a balance of protein,
carbohydrates, vegetables, fruit and good oils/fats, micro-nutrients
(vitamins and minerals) and water in our diet.
HERBAL MEDICINE
Herbal Medicine is derived
from natural plants that have certain medicinal properties with
various chemical components. Many herbs are rich in natural
compounds that have a beneficial effect on certain tissues and
organs and therefore can be used as medicines to treat and stimulate
the natural ability of the body or prevent the disease condition.
It is important that
herbal medicines are formulated under the supervision of a qualified
Naturopath to ensure safe use. Medicinal herbs can be taken
as liquid formulations, tablets, powders, ointments and infusion
teas.
Another benefit of
choosing herbal medicines is that a profound transformation
in health can be achieved without the danger of the inherent
side effects common in drug based medication.
HOMOEOPATHY
Homoeopathy is a drug free form of medical treatment in which
remedies are used in minute concentrations. These substances
come from plant, animal and mineral sources. They may be taken
in the form of drops or pills.
“Like cures
like”. Homoeopathic medicines send signals to the body
on this basis.
Homoeopathic remedies
are specially prepared as minute doses and are carefully selected
on the basis of the client's health condition, personality,
characteristics and own personal experience of the health condition.
After using the correct remedy, the patient experiences the
disappearance of symptoms and improvement in general health
and an overall sense of wellbeing.
