Our body has the ability to maintain and heal thyself. The Naturopath assists the patient to restore optimal health by stimulating and supporting the inner healing mechanism.
First Do No Harm - Primum Non Nocere
Naturopath treats within his scope of practice using non invasive treatment. All qualified clinical Naturopaths have completed the required studies and are registered within an accredited association to be allowed to practice.
Find the Cause - Tolle Causam
Often the presenting complaint may not be the root of the "Dis-ease", the role of the practitioner is to explore and understand the underlying causes and gets to the root of the complaint thereafter assists in recovery.
Doctor as teacher: Docere
The main aim of the Naturopath is to support in recovery and provide enough education to the patient for them to take ownership and sustain optimal health to thrive in life.
Treat the whole person - Tolle totum
The efficacy of Naturopathic medicine relies on practitioners treating the person and not the disease. The Naturopath will explore all the contributing and sustaining factors to come up with an individualise treatment plan for each person.
Health promotion and Disease prevention - Preventare
The Naturopathic practitioner is a life and health coach who works with you to create a toolkit specific to the individual to assist with health promotion, wellbeing and disease prevention.
