Because Naturopathy treats the cause of the condition, not just the symptoms alone, it can be applied to almost any health condition. A primary focus is not only on treating existing conditions but in maintaining health, achieving optimal wellness and preventing disease.

Wellness & Disease Prevention
\n\tA Naturopath practices the following traditional Naturopathic Principles:
\n\n
\n\nThe Healing Power of Nature (vis medicatrix naturae)
\n\nA naturopath works under the premise that the body has the capacity to heal itself when given the right conditions.
\n\n
\n\nTreat the whole Person (tolle totum)
\n\nNaturopaths treat holistically and recognise that disease is caused by a unique combination of factors (including biochemical, environmental, social, physiological, emotional and psychological factors) which are different in each person.
\n\n
\n\nIdentify and Treat the Cause (primum non nocere)
\n\nBy taking all these factors into consideration, the Naturopath aims to treat the cause of the problem, not just the symptoms alone.
\n\n
\n\nHealth Promotion & Disease Prevention
\n\nNaturopaths focus on health and wellness rather than on treating only the disease. By treating holistically and identifying and removing obstacles to the body's healing, it allows the body to return to homeostasis / health.
\n\n
\n\nFor instance, if you get frequent infections, instead of only targeting the virus or bacteria and suppressing symptoms, we work with the body; for example, by enhancing immune system function to allow the body to fight the infection itself and to prevent further infections.
\n\n
\n\nFirst do no Harm (primum non nocere)
\n\nA naturopath chooses the most
\n\ngentle and noninvasive treatments to achieve the desired outcome for each individual patient.
\n\n
\n\nNaturopathic Practitioner as Teacher (docere)
\n\nA naturopath works collaboratively with the patient to realise their health goals. This is achieved by education, motivation and support.

This includes an exploration of current and past health conditions, as well as diet, lifestyle, stress and environmental factors.
\n\n\n\n
A physical examination may be conducted using naturopathic analysis such as tongue and nail analysis. You may also be referred for clinical or laboratory tests.
\n\n
\n\nA holistic treatment plan is designed using dietary recommendations and lifestyle modifications (exercise, sleep and relaxation practices). Herbal and nutritional supplements may also be prescribed. You are encouraged to be an active participant in the process and information will be given for you to manage and better understand your health condition.
\n\n
\n\nFollow up consultations range from 30 to 60 minutes. This includes a review of current treatment and continued education and support.
