Naturopathy - Katie Lantz
Naturopathy is a branch of medicine that uses natural therapies to support the body's innate healing abilities. Often used alongside modern medicine, naturopathy encompasses a holistic approach to treating a wide range of illnesses. Naturopaths, also known as natural health practitioners, are general practitioners trained to address various health conditions.
Qualified naturopaths hold science-based degrees and are registered professionals.
The roots of naturopathy trace back thousands of years to ancient practices. Hippocrates, the Greek physician known as the "Father of Medicine" (circa 460-377 BC), introduced the concept of the "healing power of nature." In the 1890s, Dr. Benedict Lust coined the term "Naturopathic Medicine" and formalised it as a healthcare system. He established the first Naturopathic Medical College in New York in 1902, leading to the growth and development of naturopathic medicine.
Naturopathy aims to identify and treat the root causes of symptoms, promoting overall health and well-being. By addressing the underlying issues, it helps alleviate illnesses and restore balance to the body and mind.
Individualised care is fundamental to successful treatment in naturopathy. Through dietary modifications, lifestyle counseling, herbal medicine, and correcting vitamin and mineral deficiencies, naturopaths address patients' concerns and health goals. This holistic approach naturally brings the body and mind back into balance.
An initial consultation typically lasts one hour, followed by 30-minute follow-up sessions.
