Naturopathy

Holistic Healing Rooted In Nature

"Balance your body, restore your energy, and thrive naturally."

Naturopathy is a holistic approach to healthcare that focuses on identifying and addressing the root cause of health concerns rather than just alleviating symptoms. It combines traditional healing practices with modern scientific knowledge to support the body’s innate ability to heal. Using evidence-based tools like nutritional guidance, herbal medicine, and lifestyle changes, Naturopathy works to restore balance and promote long-term wellness for adults and children alike.

At Intuitive Health & Wellness, our Naturopaths support you to achieve better health by tailoring care plans to meet your unique needs and lifestyle.

When combined with Chiropractic care, Naturopathy can enhance your body’s ability to function well. While Chiropractic adjustments focus on improving spinal alignment and nervous system function, Naturopathy addresses underlying health issues like inflammation, hormone imbalances, or nutrient deficiencies that may impact your overall well-being. Together, these therapies create a synergistic approach.

Functional Testing

Functional testing in Naturopathy is a diagnostic approach used to gain a deeper understanding of how your body is functioning at a biochemical level. Unlike conventional testing, which often focuses on diagnosing diseases, functional testing looks at imbalances, deficiencies, and underlying factors that may contribute to symptoms or health concerns.

Common types of functional tests include:

  • Hormone Panels: Assessing cortisol, thyroid, or reproductive hormone levels to identify imbalances.

  • Nutritional Testing: Evaluating vitamin, mineral, and antioxidant levels to detect deficiencies.

  • Gut Health Analysis: Identifying issues like dysbiosis, leaky gut, or infections through stool testing.

  • Food Sensitivity Testing: Pinpointing foods that may trigger inflammation or digestive discomfort.

  • Liver Function Tests: Checking detoxification pathways and overall liver health.

These tests provide a comprehensive picture of your body’s health, allowing Naturopaths to create personalised treatment plans using targeted nutrition, herbal medicine, and lifestyle modifications to address root causes and promote long-term wellness.

Tools Used In Naturopathy

Naturopathy employs a diverse range of tools to support healing and restore balance, combining natural remedies with evidence-based approaches to address the root causes of health concerns.

  • Herbal Medicine:
    Drawing on the therapeutic properties of plants, herbal medicine is used to address a wide range of health concerns, from reducing inflammation and balancing hormones to supporting immune function and promoting relaxation. These remedies are tailored to your specific needs and grounded in both traditional use and modern research.

  • Nutritional Therapy:
    Food is a powerful form of medicine. Naturopathy emphasizes personalized nutritional plans to correct deficiencies, optimize energy levels, and support healing. This includes dietary adjustments, supplementation, and education on how nutrition impacts your overall well-being.

    Naturopathy recognizes the profound impact of daily habits on health. Recommendations may include stress management techniques, sleep hygiene improvements, and physical activity strategies to support sustainable, long-term wellness.

By combining these natural methods with evidence-based insights, Naturopathy empowers you to take an active role in your health, using safe and effective strategies that work in harmony with your body. This integrative approach not only addresses symptoms but also supports prevention, resilience, and optimal well-being.
