The origins of naturopathy can be traced back to ancient Greece. The goal of naturopathic medicine is to achieve the best possible health of body, mind and spirit. It is believed that the body possesses an inherent capacity to generate self-healing given the appropriate conditions. This process is facilitated through teaching and providing a range of holistic medicines such as lifestyle and dietary advice, nutritional supplementation and herbal medicines.
Our Naturopaths are a select group of healthcare practitioners who have received extensive training in maximising healthy ageing and improving vitality, making them ideally suited to help you achieve your health goals. We use a scientifically validated test known as VLA Biological Impedance Analysis which assists them to design a program specifically to your needs. Nutritional supplements,exercise recommendations and dietary advice will be provided, giving your body the building blocks for maximum health and energy.
A VLA test can provide our naturopaths with insight into aspects of your health such as how much fat and muscle you have in your body and how well your cells are functioning.
Our Naturopaths are also qualified in Hemaview/Live Blood screening. Using just one or two droplets of your blood we can investigate the size, shape and rations of red cells, white cells and platelets in your blood.
Hemaview is based on the medical science of hematology. It provides an accurate and immediate indication of the state of your general health. Hemaview can help us assess you for the following factors:
- Poor nutrition
- Immune system health
- Oxidative stress and free radical damage
- Inflammation
- Liver health
Our naturopaths are fully trained to screen your blood and explain how different aspects of what we see may relate to your health.
We can then work with you to develop a dietary and lifestyle plan to improve your health. Not only will you feel the difference, but with Hemaview you can see changes in your blood as your treatment progresses!
