Introducing Naturopathy As A Concept

We’ve given birth to a world where pills are the answer to everything; we’ve become dependent on pills to rescue us from all kinds of ailments. Be it obesity, infertility, menopause, heart diseases or depression, we have prescription medication for it all.

What we fail to understand is that, we humans are wired to heal our bodies using it’s internal powers; it just needs to be nudged in the right direction. That’s where naturopathy comes in. Using natural and gentle therapeutic techniques, one uses the potent combination of the body, mind and spiritto facilitate the healing process.

History of Naturopathy

With a history that can be traced back tothe 18^th Century, naturopathy has come a long way, with its natural roots fully intact.Some claim that the philosophy was developed by the father of medicine, Hippocrates, with his endorsement of natural medicine. The term,coined by John Scheel, was later purchased by Benedict Lust, a German immigrant, who brought the idea of naturopathy to the United States in 1902. With the progress from then on in the field, and his developments and contributions, he was proclaimed the "father of U.S. naturopathy".

Naturopathy Today

Even with its popularity, it was not until 1960 that naturopathy reached its well-deserved popularity. Today, Naturopathy in Brisbane is performed at specialisedhealth clinics byexperienced Naturopaths who are trained in the art and science of naturopathy.

Naturopathy In All Its Glory…What Can It Do For You?

There are three guiding philosophies of Naturopathy:

·         Naturopathy embraces the natural healing power of the body.

·         Naturopathy believes in Triad of Health – the connection between emotional/mental, biochemical, and structural components of individuals. Even if a single component is disrupted, the whole body will go out of balance,compromise health.

·         Naturopathy also believes that each individual is unique and responds differently to cultural, social, nutritional, structural and emotional stimuli and influences. 

·         Using the above knowledge, naturopathy aims to treat various illnesses, such as stress, food allergies, food intolerances, hormone imbalances, weight loss, chronic pain issues, fibromyalgia, infertility and fertility issues, menopause, heart disease, chronic stress and much more!

Conventional Treatment vs. Naturopathic Treatment

The major difference between natural medicine and conventional medicine lies in its practitioners.Medical doctors are trained to identify and treat diseases, whereas Naturopaths are trained to identify deficiencies and imbalances which can lead to diseases or other health problems if left untreated. 

Through the treatment of these deficiencies and imbalances, naturopaths provide the required nourishment to your body to initiate the process of healing. The main challenge for a naturopath is determining what the body needs and to pinpointpossible factors that are compromising the healing process of the body.

Brisbane clinic offer naturopathic treatments and utilise scientific tests in order to determine an individual’s unique health requirements to come up with an effective treatment. While the conventional treatments merely get rid of the pain, naturopathy goes way beyond that, right to the root of the health problem. Learn more on what Naturopathy can do for you right here!
