Our Services
Natural medicine can be effective in managing and treating a number of different disorders.
Please be aware that the conditions covered here are only examples of the most common types of health concerns seen in clinical practice.
Treatment
There are four main treatment approaches or modalities in natural medicine.
Clinical nutrition
A balanced and nutritious diet is essential for good health. What we eat and drink affects our health, energy levels and the way we feel. Clients will be assessed on their nutritional status using a variety of tests and given appropriate dietary advice and nutritional supplementation specific to their condition and individual requirements.
Herbal medicine
Herbs have been the basis for medicine for thousands of years and many pharmaceutical drugs are derived from natural substances. If indicated, herbal preparations will be added to the treatment program to aid the healing process. These can be in the form of medicinal teas, herbal tinctures or powdered herbal capsules or tablets.
Homeopathy
Homeopathy is a system of medicine which uses very dilute and minute doses of substances made from plant, animal or mineral matter to gently stimulate the body’s self healing ability. Homeopathic remedies can be useful as an adjunct in treatment and will be given on a needs basis. They are particularly effective and safe to use with children because of their dilution.
Tactile therapies
Remedial massage
Massage has many therapeutic benefits including relaxation and improvement of circulation. It can also provide relief from chronic aches and pains associated with different disease states.
Reiki
Is a gentle, non intrusive form of hands on therapy originating in Japan which can promote relaxation and restore the essential flow of Ki or Chi in the body.
Please note that tactile treatments are recommended as follow up visits after the first and second appointments or as separate bookings to naturopathic consultations.
Flower essences
The practice of using flower essences in therapy has been a part of many ancient traditions including Buddhism and Australian Aborigines, particularly the Nyoongah people of South-West Australia. Western Australian Wildflower essences developed by Living Essences of Australia are a gentle, safe and effective way of helping people breakthrough existing physical, mental and emotional limitations.
