One of the most important principles of  naturopathy is whole-person prescribing. Naturopathy focuses on treating the underlying causes of disease by assessing and treating the person as a whole. Health and wellbeing are affected by multiple external and internal factors, some of which lead to functional disorders and chronic disease. The naturopath's role is to educate the patient, develop preventative practices and reduce the incidence of relapse. The aim of treatment is to support the body during illness and to stimulate the body’s own healing energy which may have been weakened by factors such as stress, lack of exercise, poor nutrition and external environmental factors. Treatment is aimed at you as a person with a particular set of symptoms rather than at the symptoms.


Nutritional Medicine

Nutritional medicine consists of the use of diet and nutritional supplementation as therapeutic modalities.

The foundation of nutritional medicine is a health-promoting diet that focuses on eating whole, natural food.

Nutritional supplements  are used in the overall context of nutritional medicine as complementary agents, not as sole primary treatment. Food is always primary, and supplementation secondary.

Homoeopahty

Homeopathy is a system of medicine based on the philosophy of like cures like - substances that cause symptoms in someone who is well are used in homoeopathic remedies to cure the same symptoms in someone who is unwell. The idea is that the remedy stimulates the body's own self-healing mechanisms. 

The substances used in homoeopathic remedies are derived from plants, minerals and animal sources and are usually taken in the form of small lactose tablets.

Flower Essences

 Flower essences have  been used to resolve specific emotional imbalances.

These powerful remedies work in a multitude of ways to help us let go of negative beliefs and emotions and replace them with the positive aspects of ourselves.  

Sachi will formulate a combination for you to meet your needs and match your emotional/physical states.


Herbal Medicine

Western herbalism involves using plants and herbs (usually those that grow in Western countries) to maintain health and keep the body in balance.

The main difference between orthodox medicine and herbal medicine is that, whereas in pharmaceutical drugs one or more active ingredients are isolated,  using the whole herb is more beneficial. Many of the other ingredients a plant contains have a buffering effect which helps to prevent unwelcome side effects. In addition, the chemical complexity of herbs means that they can often achieve more than a drug with just one active ingredient.

The remedies prescribed will be tailored to you, not to your symptoms, by mixing up different kinds of herbal tinctures to suit.
Collaboration with Chudo Japanese Acupuncture

Collaboration with Japanese Acupuncture

Where we are unique is that we offer a combination of naturopathic treatment and Japanese acupuncture. Yoshi -  principle acupuncturist at Chudo Japanese Acupuncture - has an unique way to re-balance your body through gentle stimulation. While naturopathy targets the causes of body's imbalance internally through good nutrition and remedies, acupuncture gives stimulation externally, promoting your blood and lymphatic circulation. It removes congestion, optimises the removal of waste from and delivery of nutrients to the body; hence the combination of those two modalities potentiates and maximises naturopathy's treatments and you'll see  quicker results.
