The Benefits of Visiting a Melbourne Herbalist

Marisa is a qualified herbalist who has studied many subjects as part of her naturopathic degree including anatomy, physiology, pathology, biochemistry and herbal medicine. When you opt for this approach, you are utilising a holistic method to illness and rather than just treating the symptoms; you are attempting to find the root cause of the problem and treat this to then solve the other medical issues that you are having. What’s great about this type of medicine is that it is suitable for any age group no matter how old or young, and herbalists know that no two patients are the same.

Herbal medicines are made from the different parts of plants, which are combined together to treat various illnesses. This medication can help to cure a wide array of different health problems to do with your emotional health, hormone health, energy, digestion, skin, bones, allergies and immune system. It is our belief that you must make your body as strong as it possibly can be to fight off illness and so it must be kept in great working order. Prevention is the main focus here, rather than just a cure. We can also look at how herbal medicine can be used for weight loss.

During your first consultation, Marisa will get a clear picture of you and your overall health. You will go through your health history, your family’s health history and then discuss your diet and lifestyle. It is also important to note any other medication that you may be using to ensure the herbs are not going to interfere. From there, we can find out what the underlying causes are, and herbs can be chosen that will suit your individual situation. Other tests can also be done at this point to ensure we are doing everything that is necessary to help you on your road to recovery. Most treatment plans will involve both herbal medication and also changes to your diet. We can then arrange follow up appointments to track your progress and see where any changes need to be made.

Looking after your body and health should be the top priority for everyone. However, we live in a world where the solutions that are created to address conditions, regardless of how serious or mild they are, are often synthesized from chemicals, which can ironically have an unwanted detrimental effect. While the side effects experienced by most are negligible, many more experience incredible discomfort and forces them to drop their medication and continue to suffer, perhaps in silence.

At Melbourne Naturopathic Wellness, we have experienced and professional herbalists in Melbourne that can assess your situation. Our approach looks to natural cures and positive solutions to a huge range of different conditions and issues that are commonly experienced throughout the world. Rather than filling the body full of chemicals and pollutants that may also require time to be excreted from the body, we prefer to use our extensive knowledge of nutrition, herbal medicine and homeopathy to create a tailored plan for each patient, which affords them a much more natural route to wellness.

With regards to the range of conditions that we can help you with, these are comprehensive and fall under the following categories:

• Cardiovascular System
• Respiratory System
• Digestive System
• Urinary System
• Reproductive System
• STDs
• Nervous System
• Musculoskeletal System
• Skin
• Haematological System
• Lymphatic System

At Melbourne Naturopathic Wellness, we appreciate that for the majority of people, they grow up learning that the solution to any of the aforementioned conditions is treated by first seeing their General Practitioner. However, those that engage with experienced herbalists can expect to see fantastic results that help them to achieve lasting results.

The body of research that supports the work completed by those that deliver herbal medicine solutions is continually growing. That said, rather than just assuming that everything natural is perfectly fine to take, it is always worthwhile booking a consultation with trained and experienced professionals. The reason being is that your condition may require specific amounts of herbs to achieve the recovery or healing results that you expect.

There are also differences between different herbs in terms of their potency, so even though they are generally safe, it is always recommended that professional advice is first sought before undertaking a treatment.

Mention the word doctor or medicine to anybody and you will inevitably end up in a conversation about the cost of attending, as well as the cost of the prescribed medications. It is worth bearing in mind that choosing a herbal medicine treatmentis typically a much more cost-effective way to deal with whatever condition you are experiencing difficulty with. What’s more, this approach is designed to address the root cause of the problem, rather than simply applying a generic treatment that may or may not prove effective.

At Melbourne Naturopathic Wellness, our quiet and relaxing environment is the ideal place to seek advice and gain the professional care and attention of our highly experienced naturopath. Two decades of practice, bolstered by a dedication to continued learning and education ensures that you will receive the very best, latest naturopathic therapy currently available.
