Journey To Health

Naturopathy

Naturopathy is a system of healing that understands the connection between the mind, spirit and body. Wellbeing is commonly seen not just as the absence of disease, but a state of vitality and wellbeing. As the name infers, it allows the healing power of nature to treat illness and promotes wellness by gentle and safe means.

The body is by and large well balanced. If an imbalance occurs in a specific area, it usually has an effect on other areas of the body as well. So when symptoms are made obvious, it is not enough to simply just deal with those symptoms. Other areas that possibly could be affected by the imbalance can be identified and steps taken to mitigate many other potential problems.  

Homoepathy

The principle is the theory of ‘like cures like’. Symptoms that a substance can cause in a healthy body can be used to treat the same symptom in an unhealthy body. An example of this is onion juice – botanically Allium  Ceppa. It can bring about watery eyes, a runny nose and so forth, so onion juice might be utilised homoepathically to treat symptoms of a common cold. Homoepathic medicine is safe, and has zero side effects and can be used alongside other medications. It is an ideal for of treatment for everyone including pregnant women, children and the elderly.

Nutrition

An imbalance or deficiency of nutrients can eventually lead to numerous health disorders. Nutritional supplements can be prescribed to help the body in its attempt to re-balance a disorder. For example fish oils and glucosamine are often used as supplements for healthy joints.

Changes in diet can also be highly effective for a number of different illnesses. Intolerance to gluten or lactose can be an underlying cause to illnesses such as sinus problems, irritable bowel syndrome and psoriasis. Dietary changes and supplements can also assist with high cholesterol, weight loss, high glucose levels and many other imbalances. Nutritional advice can likewise be extremely effective for weight training or pregnancy.

Iridology

Iridology looks at the characteristics of the iris to learn new information about a patient’s systemic health. Areas of the iris correspond to areas of the body, and these areas that we can see overreactive, under active, inflammed or in distress. The iris can for example pinpoint susceptibility/genetic dispositions to circulatory issues or blood sugar issues, if the body is too acidic and prone to inflammation. It is not intended to be used for diagnosis alone or as a method of treatment but is used as a method to help assess the client to discover an accurate diagnosis.
