Naturopathy and Detox

Naturopaths take a holistic approach to health and healing by understanding the connection between our lifestyles, our diet, genetics, the environment, our minds and emotions, as well as spiritual influences.
They focus on the well-being of the individual and treat the body ‘as a whole’ to prevent illness and encourage optimal health.

Detoxing is about restoring the body’s balance. We are exposed to toxins every day with toxic compounds found in the air we breathe, the water we drink and bathe in, and the food we consume. Toxins are in food additives, solvents, pesticides, herbicides, medications, drugs, cosmetics, skin and hair care products, car exhaust fumes, furniture, vaccinations, and the list goes on…..
A persons health, diet, lifestyle and emotional state all influence the body’s ability to detoxify itself so all these factors need to be addressed.
Once toxins are present in our body they accumulate and  interfere with our normal metabolic processes.

Symptoms of toxicity include: skin conditions such as acne, eczema, psoriasis; headaches, constipation, irritable bowel, chronic fatigue, inflammation, muscular or joint pain, menstrual irregularities, allergies, weight gain, depression, irritability, poor concentration and recurrent infections.

Our naturopath can assist you in a detox programme to suit your individual needs and provide you with information on a healthy diet and lifestyle. Nutritional and/or herbal supplements may also be prescribed if required which will help detoxify, repair and support kidney and liver function so toxins can be eliminated easily and efficiently.

Our naturopath can also assist you with other health issues including: weight loss, food or environmental allergies, diet/lifestlye/stress management, reproductive health including natural fertility, pre and post conception care; pre menstrual syndrome and menopause.
