How does Naturopathy work?
Herbal Medicine
Herbal Medicine, or botanical medicine, uses plants and plant extracts to support bily functions and support various health ailments. It is one of the oldest forms of medicine, dating back thousands of years.
The origins of Herbal Medicine can be traced to ancient civilizations (China, Egypt, Native American and Indigenous Australia), who developed sophisticated medicine systems for healing and which have influenced modern herbal practices.
Herbal Medicine is a key component to Naturopathic medicine, and emphasizes our philosophy of supporting the body’s innate ability to heal.
Nutritional Medicine
Nutritional medicine is a core pillar of naturopathy that focuses on using “food as medicine” and targeted nutrients (also known as Nutraceuticals) to support health, prevent disease, and optimise bodily functions.
It is based on the principle that the body has an innate ability to heal when given the right nutrients in the right balance. This approach integrates whole foods, therapeutic patters of eating, and nutritional supplementation to address deficiencies, imbalances, and chronic health conditions.
Lifestyle Medicine
Lifestyle medicine is focuses on using evidence-based lifestyle interventions to prevent, and manage chronic diseases. It emphasises these key pillars: nutrition, movement, stress management, sleep, social connection, environment and avoiding harmful substances
In the context of naturopathy lifestyle medicine has deep roots. Naturopathic philosophy has long prioritised targeting the root cause of illness through supporting & addressing each of these pillars of health, also known as holism or wholistic medicine.
