Our Naturopaths, Herbalists and Nutritionists are committed to providing individualised health care. Using a holistic approach, we assess and treat the causes, rather than the symptoms, of each person’s physical and emotional health concerns. We aim to help you find health and long-term wellness naturally. Our clinic provides consultations by appointment to address acute or chronic health problems in a way that best suits you, this level of individualised care leads to better health outcomes.
Naturopathy
Our Naturopaths are all minimum degree qualified with association membership to the Australian Traditional Medicine Society (ATMS), the National Herbalists Association of Australia (NHAA) and the Australian Natural Therapists Association (ANTA). Naturopathy is based on the following traditional philosophies and principles including;
- First, Do No Harm (primum non nocere)
- Healing Power of Nature (vis medicatrixnaturae)
- Treat the Cause (tollecausam)
- Treat The Whole Person (tolletotum)
- Doctor as Teacher (docere)
- Disease Prevention and Health Promotion
Within your consultation your Naturopath will take a full case history, assess your current health needs, and formulate an individual treatment plan often including dietary and lifestyle modifications and supplementation. Your Naturopath may also discuss testing options if more information is needed to find the cause of your health concerns.
Helping you achieve your goals for optimal health and wellbeing at our clinic is our passion.
Nutrition
Different diets, foods and nutrients provide varying health benefits to our bodies. Our Naturopaths and Nutritionists understand these benefits and how they can be applied. Every person has different nutritional needs and getting this right requires the knowledge of an experienced practitioner.
At our Dispensary and in the Clinic you may be given holistic nutritional advice or an individualised dietary plan to improve your diet, avoid allergies or intolerances, for weight control or prescribed nutritional supplements to achieve optimum health.
Herbal Medicine
Also referred to a phytotherapy, herbal medicine has been used throughout history to promote health and prevent or resolve illnesses. It is a highly effective treatment option used primarily by Naturopaths and Herbalists utilising modern scientific herbal practices validated by as many as 30,000 published clinical trials which we use to further understand the traditional uses, therapeutic constituents, actions, and interactions of each herb.
Herbal Medicine is a very effective healthcare tool to treat both acute and longterm health problems. Herbs can be used on their own or in individualised blends created just for you in tea, tablet, or tincture form. Our Naturopaths are stringent in the use of these powerful herbal medicines, ensuring safe dispensing, even alongside pharmaceutical medications.
