What is Naturopathic Nutrition?

Naturopathic nutrition uses food to encourage and promote the body’s own self-healing mechanisms. It works under the notion that the body can heal itself given the right condition and treatment.

The naturopathic approach follows these 5 key principles:

1. The healing power of nature

In combination with fresh air, sun, good water, fasting/detoxification and other natural therapies such as massage or Reiki, good nutrition works to stimulate the Vital Force/Qi/Chi/Prana coursing through our bodies.

2.        Treat the cause, not the symptom

The question is not ‘What is the disease?’, but, ‘Why is it there?’, ‘Where did it come from?’ and ‘What is the cause?’

3.         Treat the whole person

By taking into account individual physical, mental, genetic, environmental, social and other factors, we recognise a person’s individuality and can support the person as a whole being, rather than treating a symptom.

4.        Prevention is better than cure

So many people seek out naturopathic support as a last resort once other avenues have been exhausted. By establishing good eating habits, in many cases, we can prevent disease within the body and keep the Vital Force at its optimum at all times.

5.        Education

We aren’t taught a great deal of nutrition in schools and a degree in medicine includes next to no nutritional training. By bringing a better understanding of heath to our clients, we are empowering them to make the best decisions for themselves and enabling them to be the best they can be.

Every person is an individual and requires a personalised nutritional approach to health. We allow the time and space for you to talk through previous illnesses, life events and any other factors that have led to where you are today. We focus on the use of whole & organic food as medicine and the importance of detoxification and cleansing to devise a nutritional plan based on the constitution of you, as an individual person.
