WHAT
IS NATURAL MEDICINE/NATUROPATHY?
Establishing
Health and Wellness
Naturopathy
is a unique and comprehensive approach to improving health
and treating illness. Focussing on prevention, and using
natural substances, naturopathy supports and stimulates
the body’s ability to heal itself, gaining /leading
to full and vibrant health.
Often
referred to as drugless therapy, naturopathic treatments
are gentle, non-invasive and effective, with no adverse
side effects.
Identify
and Treat the Cause
The
main focus of naturopathy is on removing the root cause
of a person’s condition as opposed to simply suppressing
or treating symptoms. (This can disturb the normal functioning
of the body and lead to a weak and toxic state). For example,
treatment plans focus on addressing the reason a person
may suffer from headaches ,skin problems, or constipation,
working to reverse it allowing the condition to disappear
without the continued need for a crutch, such as aspirin,
laxatives or cortisone.
Only
after understanding the mechanism of imbalance that may
have caused the problem can you really start to return
to health. By addressing un-natural habits in living,
thinking, working, sleeping, etc.(and correcting them),
symptoms disappear and health is restored.
What
Types of Treatment Does Naturopathy Offer?
Many
illnesses and states of chronic disease can be treated
safely and effectively using naturopathy. The therapies

What
Can You Expect From a Naturopathic Consultation?
During
a naturopathic consultation, a complete picture of each
person’s present condition as well as his or her
past medical history and current health habits such as
dietary choices and lifestyle are assessed.
It
is a combination of these, and often many other factors
which influence your physical, mental and emotional state.
Each of your body systems are addressed and assessed for
their level of functioning ie: under or over production,
congested, sluggish, exhausted, overcompensating for another
body system imbalance etc.
Individualized
treatment plans are then carefully created to strengthen
weakened organ systems, replace nutrient deficiencies,
aid the body in repair, and relieve stress. This is accomplished
through educating each individual on nutrition, good eating
habits, exercise, and any appropriate supplementation
and/or detoxification needed to obtain optimal health.
At
Bodyworks Yoga and Wellness Centre, time is taken to get
to know you, and help you navigate the often perplexing
