What do Naturopaths do?

Naturopaths interpret signs and symptoms of disease as indicators of improper functioning of the body. This method helps to identify the root cause of illness, which allows the Naturopath to then control, eliminate and prevent any recurrence of illness.

The Naturopaths at Natural Medicine Family Practice combine the most recent scientific research with traditional natural medical practices to restore optimal health.

What is involved in a Naturopathic Consultation

Your initial consultation will involve a thorough investigation of your particular health concerns, health history, current physical condition and lifestyle factors such as diet, stress, emotional concerns, alcohol and tobacco use, sleep and exercise. A range of examinations and diagnostic tests may be carried out, including iridology, salivary hormone testing, food allergy testing, mineral analysis, body composition analysis and other functional pathology.
