Naturopathic medicine seeks to promote positive health by removing obstructions to vitality, while supporting the body’s inherent tendency to self-healing.

The term ‘Naturopath’ is an Anglicized version of the term ‘physician’ which was used by Hippocrates from the Greek root word ‘physikos’ meaning ‘nature’ – thus, every Naturopath is trained to understand what each patient’s constitution is and what the relationship is wrt food, drink, occupation and the effects that each of these has upon the other.

Naturopathic medicine seeks to promote positive health by removing obstructions to vitality, while supporting the body’s inherent tendency to self-healing. Our bodies possesses an innate  tendency to revert to the normal, healthy state of being and to overcome imbalance, injury or dis-ease. This forms the natural process of healing.

Naturopathy is based on all the ancient methods of healing of Ayuverda, Chinese, Tibetan & Unani medicine where illness is seen as an imbalance which needs to be re-established by supporting the body to do what it was designed to do. Our level of wellness is dependent upon our state of mind, how we choose to live, the level of chronic stress that we experience, our environment, and our attitudes. The strength or weakness of our vital force will determine whether and which pathogens/diseases/illnesses we will be prone to.

Our genetic make-up together with our lifestyle and our medical history, determine the strength or weakness of our vital force, based on the degree of suppression which has hampered our foundation from which health or disease will flourish.
