Treating the cause, not just the symptom.
Naturopathic care has a primary focus on understanding signs and symptoms in order to treat the cause as well as provide symptom relief utilising a range of integrative solutions, with a strong emphasis on education to encourage the practice of prevention.
Selph Naturopaths work with evidence based treatments, pathology findings and thorough consultations to address both acute and chronic conditions.
Naturopathic treatment may help with:
Our naturopaths also tailor treatments preventatively, addressing symptoms before they become a condition. Every treatment is evidence based and prescribed on the basis of thorough consultation and, where needed, pathology investigation.
What your Naturopath may use.
- Herbal medicine
- Nutritional medicine
- Homeopathy
- Dietary and lifestyle advice
- Massage therapy or other therapies
A thorough, collaborative plan.
Your Naturopath will review sleep, diet, energy, stress, past medical history, digestion, mental health and physical activity. From this a collaborative plan is created which considers:
- What you are able to manage
- Whether other investigations are needed
- If referrals are necessary
- Supportive supplements, dietary adjustments and lifestyle considerations
Six principles that guide every treatment.
The Healing Power of Nature
The body has an innate ability to heal. Our Naturopaths help to identify obstacles that are preventing this healing, and suggest strategies to better manage.
Identify and Treat The Cause
Identify the root cause of the symptoms and address any aggravating factors, considering genetics, lifestyle, diet, environmental factors and optimal ranges.
First Do No Harm
The most gentle, non-invasive interventions which support the body’s innate ability to heal are the mainstay of treatment, with an effort made not to suppress the symptoms.
Naturopath As Teacher
The primary role of a Naturopath is to educate, empower and motivate clients to assume more personal responsibility for their health.
Treat The Whole Person
Mental, emotional, functional, structural and spiritual aspects of an individual are inseparable from the whole and unique to each of us. We treat the person, not the condition.
Prevention
Naturopaths are experts in prevention. Prevention is always better than cure. It is easier and cheaper to prevent disease than to treat it.
When “normal” results still don’t feel right.
Much of what we see are people who have been told everything is fine, yet know their body is telling them otherwise. This is where naturopathy does its best work.
Tired, but your bloods are “normal”
We look at suboptimal ranges and what else might be driving the fatigue, rather than waiting for a result to fall outside the standard reference range.
Bloating and digestion that lingers
We investigate potential food intolerances, dysbiosis or an imbalance in the gut microbiome, stress, and poor digestive enzyme production, and refer for testing where it helps.
Recently told you’re pre-diabetic
We address diet and support the pathways involved to help prevent it progressing, alongside your GP’s care.
Sleep that won’t settle
We consider your whole day, your stress levels, your evening wind-down, your diet and meal times, before turning to herbal medicine to help improve or induce sleep.
We test, so we are not guessing.
Naturopathy at Selph is grounded in evidence. Where it adds clarity, your naturopath draws on functional pathology, from comprehensive GI Mapping stool testing to blood work read against optimal ranges, so your plan treats what is actually happening in your body rather than a best guess. Every treatment is prescribed on the basis of a thorough consultation and, when needed, proper investigation.
The 6-Week Gut Repair Program
If your gut sits at the centre of how you feel, our structured six-week program with naturopath Kathleen McFarlane combines targeted consultations, optional GI Map testing and a clear, personalised plan to repair it, and to get you to a point where you no longer think about it.
As with all treatments at Selph Health Studios, your Naturopath will be able to see and discuss your past and current treatments with any other of the Selph practitioners you are being treated by. This ensures that your treatments and wellness plan are both cohesive and collaborative across all disciplines.
You can book a consult with our naturopath, or if you would like to come in for a complimentary wellness consultation, please email or call us to make an appointment.
