Naturopathy
Naturopaths are more interested in the underlying cause of an illness, viewing such as an imbalance in the body. The goal is to assist the body to heal itself.
Most people are unsure what to expect from a naturopathic consultation, and how this may be different from seeing a medical doctor. Traditionally, doctors focus on the treatment of symptoms and often prescribe medications to deal with illness.
A consultation will be longer than one you have experienced with a doctor, often taking 1 hour or more depending on history and health circumstances.
After the initial consultation, your ND will analyze the information given to guide you towards treatments that will encourage your mind and body towards natural healing. Subsequent sessions will be shorter involving specific recommended treatments, which may include nutrition plans, exercise, relaxation techniques, detoxification, meditation or counselling.
Like a consultation with an MD, all of your personal information is held in the strictest confidence.
