Restoring Health Holistically

The Root Cause

Naturopathic Nutritional Therapy is a holistic approach to health that involves taking a deep dive into a persons health history, to find patterns and predispositions that show how a state of ill-health has progressed and help identify the root cause. From here steps are taken to address the root cause and restore health. This includes a personalised nutrition and lifestyle plan, individual to your needs. This will look to increase vitality through correcting nutritional imbalances, supporting detoxification and reducing stress. This is achieved through dietary and lifestyle changes, naturopathic techniques and often but not always supplements. Diagnostic testing is used where appropriate.

Detoxification Techniques

Detoxification is a key component to health. In todays world we are bombarded with more toxins than ever before and it is a big job for our bodies to process and eliminate them all. Naturopaths believe that it is a build up of these toxins that begins the journey to poor health and that health can be restored by eliminating these toxins from the body. Detoxification can be supported by gentle naturopathic techniques, which are incorporated into your health plan to support the detoxification pathways. Techniques include things such as skin brushing, castor oil packs, hot and cold showers and epsom salt baths.

Blood Type

There are many opinions about what foods are healthy and what diet one should be following. The truth is however that every person is unique and there is no 'one diet fits all' scenario. Likewise one food might be a great choice for one person and a bad choice for another. Finding what works for you can be challenging. Working with your blood type can give information as to what foods might work better for your body than others and can be used as a tool to help you achieve your health goals. This is incorporated into your health plan. On the spot blood testing kits are available for those who do not know their type.

Diagnostic Testing

There are many different types of diagnostic tests available that can give useful information about health status. These are often costly and are only recommended if thought necessary or the client wishes to pursue them. Examples of available tests include adrenal function, stool testing, gene testing, food intolerance testing and hormone testing to name just a few. One test that is relatively inexpensive for the amount of information received is a Hair Mineral Analysis. This can give information about mineral levels, heavy metal toxicity, adrenal status, thyroid function, metabolic type, stress levels and blood sugar balance. It can be a very useful way of giving a general health picture. Please enquire for more information.
