Mandala Health: Naturopathy & Psychotherapy

What is Naturopathy?

Naturopathy is a holistic method of healing that employs various natural means that enable an individual to achieve their greatest potential for health and wellbeing. Its philosophical roots go back thousands of years and draw on the traditional healing wisdom of many countries, including India (Ayurveda), China (Taoism), and Greece (Hippocrates).

The naturopathic tradition maintains that there is only one fundamental life force that exists inherent in nature and all living organism. This self-directed, growth promoting, emergence process, is essential for all of life's vital processes, including: healthy development, growth, maturation; for the repair, regeneration and healing of all living organisms ; and the removal and resolution of symptoms of stress and disease.

The naturopathic system facilitates the natural vital capacity by; removing obstacles and unhealthy habits that cause disease, exhaust the vital energetic reserve or block this healing capacity. Naturopathic treatment strategies aim to: improve the diet and nutrient status - the energetic building blocks of life - with natural foods, vitamin, mineral and herbal supplements; improve metabolism and energy utilisation; increase exercise, the range of natural body movements and deepen breathing, to improve circulation and oxygen exchange; improve detoxification and the elimination of toxins and other poisons from the body; and to raise the vital energetic reserves of an individual to heal disease and function again at their most optimum level of health
