About Naturopathy
Naturopathy blends traditional medicine with conventional healthcare to work with naturally and holistically healing the mind & body. It is a distinct system of traditional and complementary medicine recognised by the World Health Organisation. It is defined by its philosophic approach to patient care rather than the treatments practitioners use.
"Worldwide, over 98 countries have practicing naturopaths, representing 36% of all countries and every world region. Find out more here. To date, research in whole-system, multi-modality naturopathic medicine shows that it is effective for treating cardiovascular disease, musculoskeletal pain, type 2 diabetes, polycystic ovary syndrome, depression, anxiety, and a range of complex chronic conditions."

Naturopathy goes beyond merely alleviating symptoms and managing diseases; it addresses the underlying causes by treating the body, mind, and spirit. This holistic approach involves identifying and removing obstacles to recovery, allowing for natural healing. By focusing on the root causes, naturopathy helps resolve health issues more effectively and sustainably.
Moreover, naturopathy provides harmless treatment through the use of herbs, supplements, and dietary and lifestyle measures, which are less harmful than conventional medications when prescribed correctly, ensuring minimal side effects. This practice recognizes the individuality of each person, offering holistic treatment that addresses all aspects of health. Education is a key component, empowering individuals to self-care and manage their health through knowledge—from self-care to self-healing. Additionally, naturopathy emphasises preventive medicine, teaching individuals how to care for themselves and reduce the risk of disease.
