Naturopathy is much more than simply replacing drugs with natural remedies. It is a system that marries ancient wisdom with modern science.
Effective, healing and cleansing natural medicines are utilised to promote wellness and prevent disease by stimulating the body’s own immune and healing responses.
Benefits of Naturopathic wellness care include a holistic approach, minimal or no side effects, cost effectiveness and direct personalised treatment of the cause of the condition.
A NATUROPATHIC CONSULTATION
A naturopath will spend up to an hour recording a thorough medical case history, including dietary evaluation, and performing diagnostic techniques such as iridology and any appropriate physical examinations.
This information is pooled together to arrive at specific therapeutic goals for each client, which are implemented through the use of natural therapeutics, dietary advice and lifestyle changes.
THERAPIES AVAILABLE
Naturopathy
Naturopathy or "nature cure" includes the practise of Nutrition, Herbal Medicine and Homoeopathy. Naturopathy places an emphasis on a preventative approach to healing and treating the cause/s of a disease state.
Herbal medicine
Herbal medicine uses the most universal and oldest known form of medicine since mankind appeared on Earth. Herbalists mainly prescribe concentrated extracts of European or North American herbs (and increasingly, Australian grown herbs are now being used) or tablets and capsules of the dried, powdered herbs.
Homoeopathy
Homoeopathy is a very precise system of medicine whereby minute doses of a substance is made potent by a special dilution process, so that the medicine is low in concentration but high in energy. One of the principles of Homoeopathy is that individuals vary in their response to an illness according to their basic temperament. So a homoeopath does not automatically prescribe a specific remedy for a specific illness. Instead a Homoeopath tries to determine the patient's temperament and responses and so prescribes on a more individual basis. Patients suffering from the same disease often require different remedies. Conversely, another group of patients with different diseases may all benefit from the same remedy.
Nutritional & dietary advice
Naturopaths believe there is a strong relationship between diet and food sensitivities to health problems and therefore focus on balanced quantities of the basic building blocks of health i.e. vitamins and minerals, proteins, carbohydrates and fats in the diet.
Iridology
Iridology is the examination of the iris - the coloured part of the eye. Every organ of the body corresponds with a section of the iris. Through various markings, signs and discolourations in the iris, inherited weaknesses and strengths become apparent. Although Iridology cannot diagnose a disease it can point out specific areas of the body that are overactive or underactive. Iridology is a safe, non-invasive and painless tool that naturopaths use to detect underlying signs of developing disease at the earliest stage so individuals can be advised of preventative strategies.
Ultra Lite & Ketosystem Weight loss management
These weight management systems focus on adjusting the proteins, carbohydrates and fats in the diet so that the body switches to burning fat for energy. Through support and monitoring dietary habits are learnt throughout the program so that individuals can maintain their goal weight.

Ear Candling
Ear candling is a safe, painless, relaxing, effective & therapeutic technique. Ear candling has at its foundation two primary physical actions:
1. The slight under pressure inside the candle and the vibration of the rising air column serve to gently massage the ear drum and promote secretion from the sinuses there by regulating ear pressure.
2. Locally applied warmth stimulates the circulation, invigorates the immune system and improves the flow of lymph.
Ear Candling can help:
Sinusitis
Ringing in the ears
Hearing loss
Removal of excess wax in the ears
Headaches & migraines
Vertigo
Meniere’s Syndrome
