So you’ve heard of a Naturopath, but have you ever wondered what it is that they do and why you would need one?
Naturopathy is the practice of looking at the body as a whole when considering health and wellness. The practice of Naturopathy combines philosophy, naturopathic principles and traditional knowledge with modern scientific evidence.
Naturopaths have a primary focus of trying to understand and interpret signs and symptoms in order to address the cause as well as provide symptom relief. Experts in prevention, Naturopaths have the desire to address symptoms before they become a health issue and prevent progression. This can be done through a range of interventions including; diet and lifestyle coaching, nutritional and/or herbal medicine, functional pathology testing when required and treatment plans that are tailored to you.
Naturopathy considers ‘how’ your mind and body are functioning and whether or not it’s optimal. Your symptoms need to be translated and that’s where your practitioner comes in.
Why do you have severe and recurrent seasonal allergies or eczema
Why are your hormones all over the shop?
Why can’t you lose weight?
Why are you feeling so anxious or depressed?
Why do you have digestive issues?
Here’s what you can expect in your initial appointment with Selph Naturopath Sarah Benna Dolye:
