Naturopathic Medicine

Naturopathic Medicine

Naturopathic Medicine is a distinct primary health care system that blends conventional medical knowledge with natural therapies and physical techniques for diagnosis, treatment and prevention of disease.

The naturopathic philosophy is typically used to address the root cause of illness, stimulate the natural healing power of the body, support self-healing mechanisms and honour the mind-body connection.

Naturopathic Medical treatments are catered to the unique needs of each individual patient and focus on whole person healthcare. We use natural remedies and therapies (combined with conventional medicine where needed) to stimulate health and healing by using the least invasive methods possible. Treatments are evidence-informed and specifically selected to meet patients where they are.
