LIFESTYLE COUNSELLING
To achieve the best results from your naturopathic treatment, you need to understand and practice the principles of healthy living. By helping you identify and adjust the habits that contribute to ill health, your Naturopathic Doctor (ND) will help you maintain wellness over the long term.
NUTRITION
Nutrition is the cornerstone of good health. Like medicines and drugs, foods affect the way your body functions. Some foods help you heal, while others damage your body and contribute to chronic illness. A healthy diet – consisting of the right balance of vitamins, minerals, enzymes, phytochemicals, antioxidants, fatty acids, fibre and amino acids – is the most important tool for your body to manage stress, and prevent and recover from illness.
HERBAL MEDICINE
Naturopathic doctors use herbs from Europe, the Americas, China and India to prevent and alleviate illness. Herbs work in two ways. First, they nourish your body with essential vitamins, minerals, enzymes, fatty acids, phytochemicals and antioxidants. Also, herbs help your body release toxins that can build up and cause illness. As natural medicines, herbs are relatively inexpensive, accessible, gentle and easily absorbed by our bodies.
