Naturopathic Philosophy
Naturopathy uses a unique combination of both traditional and scientific research, to establish the most suitable treatment approach for each patient. These may include the use of nutraceuticals which contain compounds that have been extracted from plants or foods based on their medicinal nature. Vitamins, minerals and herbal extracts are examples of these.
​
Naturopathy focuses on a whole-systems approach, where living things are recognised for their interconnection and interdependence. As Aristotle said, "the whole is better than the sum of its parts." This is recognised in naturopathy as "treating the whole person," by developing a comprehensive healthcare plan that is unique to each individual.
