Naturopathic Nutrition + Herbal Medicine
Good nutrition is the foundation for feeling well, happy and strong. Combined with an active lifestyle and stress management, healthy eating habits are the best way to improve overall health and wellbeing. Eating well can help to reduce the risk of many diseases such as obesity, heart disease, osteoporosis, arthritis etc. and can help to improve energy levels, hormone balance, digestion, physical fitness and much more. Herbal Medicine can be a great addition to any natural health protocol as it is a very safe therapy, suitable for all ages and can be tailored to individual needs. Using tinctures, teas, creams or lotions, Herbal Medicine can be used on it’s own or if appropriate alongside orthodox medication.
A qualified Medical Herbalist and Nutritionist will always check for herb-drug interactions and find the best therapeutic dosage, based on current research as well as anecdotal evidence and will always monitor for signs of serious pathology and refer to a medical professional accordingly.
WHY consider Naturopathic nutrition?
Nutritional therapy and herbal medicine are both based on a Functional Medicine framework, which addresses the underlying causes of disease by treating the whole person, not just an isolated set of symptoms. The framework uses a personalised approach that empowers patients to take an active role in their own health, and offers a powerful clinical model for assessment, treatment and prevention of chronic disease.
