Naturopathy is a discipline that incorporates various
natural healing modalities in the prevention and
treatment of disease. These include Medical Herbalism,
Nutrition, and it's role in Health and Disease,
Iridology as a diagnostic tool, Mineral therapy,
Homeopathic remedies, Allergy Testing, Urine analysis,
special dietary programs and Massage therapies.
All of these modalities
contain their own unique systems of healing but
are linked by a common theme, your mind, body and
environment all act as a functional and interdependent
whole, each affecting the other. Your optimal health
relies upon a proper balance between these factors.
This 'holistic' approach to health is probably the
essence of the Naturopathic Principle, which seeks
to treat the 'Cause of Disease' by using therapies
to address issues on all levels of your life.

As well as the Naturopatic modalities, a thorough
grounding in Medical Sciences, Pathology, Pathophysiology
and Bio-Chemistry is provided as the naturopath
must have a comprehensive knowledge of all disease
states in order to treat them.
As Naturopaths
we believe we can help out patients in all areas
of their health care from Pre-conception planning
through life to Aged Care. Where disease cure is
not possible your quality of life can be improved.
We are always
pleased to co-operate with other health care professionals.
