What is naturopathy?

Naturopathy means 'nature cure', it is the science of wellness and its ultimate goal is to bring you vitality. It is built on five fundamental principles:

Primum non nocere
A Latin phrase that means "first, do no harm". Naturopaths use natural tools like herbal medicines, diet, homoeopathy, vitamins and minerals and Bach Flower remedies, which in the hands of a professional can help improve conditions without causing side effects.

Treat the cause
Not just the symptom, only this way can the treatment deliver meaningful, long-term relief. Symptoms are the body’s way of telling you something is wrong, treating the symptom will not cure the condition, treating the cause will.

Work with the body
The body has an inherent ability to heal itself so the more the body’s innate healing powers are supported and encouraged, the faster the recovery and the more resilient the person will be to future ailments.

Prevention is better than cure
Naturopathy is as much about making the body really well, as it is about dealing with ailments.

Give people greater control of their health
Helping people to understand how improving their diet and changing their lifestyle will enable them to enjoy better health for life.
