—  NATUROPATHY  —

The basic principles of Naturopathy are thousands of years old and retain a characteristic resonance today. These principles (The Six Maxims) include;

• The Healing Power of Nature (Vis Medicatrix Naturae)

• Identify and Treat the Cause (Tolle Causam)

• Treat the Whole Person (Tolle Totum)

• First Do No Harm (Primum Non Nocere)

• Doctor As Teacher (Docere)

• Prevention (Preventare)

Naturopathy recognises that nature is both perfectly balanced and organised intelligently to create, maintain, repair, and destroy matter synergistically. The body also has its own intuitive and sophisticated mechanism of healing that operates in a similar way to the laws of nature. As nature regenerates itself without the need for human intervention so too does the human body. The use of nature’s healing agents (air, earth, water and sun) in combination with clean diet, exercise, good sleep, relaxation, meditation and a positive outlook can influence and support the body’s innate ability to heal. My role as a naturopath is to support and facilitate this process, with or without the use of tools to ultimately achieve a healthy body, mind and soul.
