Naturopath - Iridology - Clinical Nutrition

Naturopathy

Our bodies' are constantly undergoing regeneration and repair. Through this mechanism, the body contains the ability to heal itself. Unfortunately with our modern lifestyles, it can become overwhelmed, generating a "backlog" of cleaning and repair without containing enough of the ingredients with which to carry out its' day to day maintenance.


One of the founding tenets of Naturopathy is to "remove the cause". The cause of illness may be attributed to a wide range of factors, from diet and lifestyle, emotional wellbeing or genetic predisposition, to chemical/radiation exposure, or a plethora of other possibilities. The role of the naturopath is to identify these causes, and find ways to either remove them directly or enhance the bodies' ability to deal with them.


Naturopathy is a complementary therapy, and includes aspects of Clinical Nutrition, Herbalism, and also may incorporate Flower essence therapy, Homeopathy and Lifestyle advice. It may be used as primary health care for many different conditions, or as an adjunct to orthodox medicine. They do not need to be mutually exclusive, in fact, often they work extremely well together to optimize health outcomes.


Naturopathic treatment can be used alone or in combination to treat almost any health condition. However certain issues are particularly suited to the Naturopathic approach.


These include:

  • Digestive disturbances
  • Irritable Bowel Syndrome
  • Crohn’s disease and Ulcerative Collitis
  • Acne
  • Psoriasis
  • Mood imbalances
  • Sleep disorders

Iridology

Ally IridologyIt’s an old adage that the eyes are the windows to the soul. Over the last two centuries, a new practice of examining the iris (the colored part of the eye) has emerged. This has resulted in a fascinating and surprisingly accurate method of assessing an individual’s potential for health.
The iridologist examines the colors and the textures within the iris landscape. Each person's iris is completely unique. The picture that emerges within the eye can distinguish between healthy systems and organs in the body and those that are overactive, inflamed, or distressed. This information may be used to assess a patient's susceptibility towards certain illnesses, to reflect past medical problems, or to predict later consequences of health problems that may be developing. This gives the iridology practitioner a detailed framework for treatment.


Also within the eyes reside a “personality blueprint” which can provide wonderful information to help an individual on their soul’s journey. This information comes from a different school of iridology known as Rayid iridology. The aim of Rayid is to help the individual understand their natural gifts, and challenges, in order to help them fully embrace and embody their own uniqueness.


An integrated iridology assessment will take into account both schools of iridology, to impart both fascinating and practical information that will aid a person on their path to achieving optimal wellbeing.
