Naturopathy is based on the premise that the body has the ability to heal itself, providing we enhance the opportunity to do so. 

What makes the naturopathic approach distinctive is that it takes into account all aspects that may influence an individual’s wellbeing such as physical, emotional and spiritual health.   In this way the whole person is treated.  This is holistic healthcare.   

A Naturopath will use many therapies including herbal medicine, massage homeopathy, and nutrition to enhance the body's natural healing process.

Naturopaths will tailor the treatment methods and programme to the unique requirements of their patient.  The main aim is to remove the cause of disease, by supporting and/or stimulating the healing ability of the body.  The healing power of nature - the vis medicatrix naturae.

Naturopaths seek to motivate an individual toward a healthy, balanced lifestyle and mental attitude by emphasising the importance of maintaining health, preventing disease and patient education.

 The following six naturopathic principles are the foundation of naturopathic practice.  These principles make Naturopathy different from all other medical approaches: 

• The healing power of nature
• Identify and treat the causes
• First do no harm
• Doctor as teacher
• Treat the whole person
• Prevention
