Naturopathy helps with inflammation

Naturopathy is the only health system that takes into account the whole body, not just its individual parts. If you suffer from inflammation, naturopathy can help. Naturopathy is a holistic therapy that believes in treating the root cause of your illness rather than just easing symptoms. It does this by using techniques such as nutrition therapy, herbal medicine, homeopathy and lifestyle recommendations to treat your body holistically.

Naturopathy can help with inflammation because it looks at the underlying causes of the disease process, rather than just treating the symptoms that you present with. If you are suffering from inflammation, then it could be that your body isn't able to fight off infection effectively; this may be caused by poor digestion or due to low immunity levels. Naturopathy will take time to identify what is causing your inflammation and will treat it using natural treatments like dietary changes and herbal medicine.

Naturopathy helps with stress

Stress itself is a major cause of chronic conditions. Stress creates hormonal changes which can lead to inflammation and illness. Naturopathy works on the root cause of the stress and helps you manage this, therefore helping with your overall health and wellbeing. Naturopathy focuses on your lifestyle choices, food choices, exercise patterns, work patterns etc. This is because these are the things that can be changed.

Naturopaths are experts in nutrition and natural therapies which help to reduce stress levels in the body by reducing inflammation. They also help you to relax, find your balance and learn how to look after yourself again.

Naturopathy helps with anxiety and depression

Naturopathy helps ease anxiety and depression. Naturopathy focuses on the cause of the condition rather than just treating the symptoms, this enables us to help people recover faster. Naturopathy is about getting to the underlying cause of the condition, through diet, lifestyle changes and herbal supplements.

Most people are surprised at how quickly they feel better once they start working closely with a Naturopath because Naturopathy seeks to address the root cause of the conditions not just treat the symptoms.

Naturopathy helps improve sleep disorders & insomnia

A sleep disorder is a condition in which the normal patterns of sleep and wakefulness are disrupted. Some types of sleep disorders occur due to health conditions such as heart disease, metabolic problems, and neurological problems. Other sleep disorders result from issues such as stress, anxiety and depression.

To treat sleep disorders a naturopath may recommend lifestyle changes to help induce better sleep patterns or medications. Naturopathy can help with insomnia, narcolepsy, and chronic fatigue syndrome.

Naturopathic treatments include exercise, diet modification and dietary supplements such as vitamins and minerals. Naturopaths use a holistic approach to diagnose and treat sleep disorders by looking at how factors such as stress, diet and lifestyle can affect your sleeping patterns.

Naturopaths aim to find the underlying cause of the problem which often requires some detective work on their part to uncover any hidden factors that may be affecting your sleeping habits. By treating the underlying causes of the problem naturopaths are able to treat your symptoms effectively without relying on medications or sleeping pills.

Naturopathy helps the immune system

The role of a naturopath is to find out how well the immune system is functioning and then work to restore your body's ability to defend itself against infection.

Naturopathy is a complete system for supporting optimal health and well-being. It draws from a wide range of therapies, including lifestyle counselling, natural medicine, nutrition, herbal medicine and therapeutic treatments. One of the most important roles played by a naturopath is helping you optimise your immune system so it can do its job to protect your body from disease.

The immune system is designed to recognise and destroy any foreign particles that enter the body - including viruses, bacteria and fungus. This is not always easy because these foreign particles "look" a lot like our own tissue.

Naturopathy helps with energy levels, tiredness and fatigue

Naturopathy can help to increase energy levels, tiredness, fatigue.

An experienced naturopath will look at all aspects of your life to help you regain your health. Nourishing your body with nutritious food is essential to your health and wellbeing. I provide advice on diet, lifestyle changes and supplementation which may assist you in regaining your energy.

Naturopathy has been practised for centuries; it comes from ancient medical philosophies that recognise the connection between mind, body and spirit. Because tiredness and fatigue are often linked to underlying causes, this holistic and integrative approach is often the best way to address the symptoms of tiredness and fatigue.

Naturopathy helps with digestion

Naturopathy is helpful with digestion and stomach issues because it helps you to be aware of how your body reacts to certain things and also helps you make better food choices.

Naturopathy can also help with digestion by helping you deal with allergies or intolerances. If there is a particular food that causes a problem, then avoiding or reducing the consumption of it can help your body to digest well.

Naturopathy helps with bacterial, parasitic & yeast infections

Naturopaths help patients to resolve the root cause of a bacterial, parasitic and yeast infection rather than just treating the symptoms. Each patient is different, so it's necessary to take a detailed history of their lifestyle and diet, what they've done in the past to treat similar symptoms (and whether this was successful), how they're currently feeling, and what their current diet is like. Once they've done this, there are various tests that can be carried out on stool or urine samples which can then be examined for evidence of harmful micro-organisms or parasites.

A naturopath will use tests such as these to identify the actual cause of the infection rather than just prescribing something which might cover up the symptoms for a while but won't actually get rid of the underlying cause of the infection itself.

This means that it's also possible to find out if there are any other underlying health problems at play that need to be addressed in order to successfully get rid of the infection.

Naturopathy helps with joint aches & pains

Joint aches and pains can be a natural part of getting older, however, there are a number of things you can do to help ease the pain. Life is busy these days and many people don't get enough sleep or exercise which puts additional stress on our bodies.

A naturopath may suggest a number of things including taking regular exercise, increasing your intake of water and increasing your vitamin and mineral intake.

A Naturopath such as myself may recommend that you eat more food that is high in antioxidants such as fresh vegetables and fruit and add supplements and herbal tinctures to help support the immune system.

Naturopathy helps with muscle tiredness

Naturopathy can help with muscle tiredness. Naturopathy, the art of healing using natural remedies and nutrition based on whole foods, is a holistic treatment for muscle tiredness. Naturopathy aims to treat the underlying reason for muscle tiredness instead of just masking symptoms with pain relievers, which is the conventional treatment.

It is not uncommon for people to suffer from muscle tiredness due to stress, inadequate diet, lack of exercise and even dehydration. Naturopathic treatment can help reduce muscle tension and pain, as well as restore your energy levels.
