Natural lifestyle for optimum health
NATUROPATHY is a philosophy of life and an approach to living. It is the belief in living a lifestyle as close to nature as possible.
What is naturopathy?
Maurice Blackmore, the founder, was Australia’s pioneering naturopath who believed in the healthgiving properties of herbs and minerals. This led him to develop a comprehensive health care system based on naturopathic principles.
Naturopathy is a system that focuses on building health and encouraging the body’s self-healing process through holistic health education with the ultimate goal of achieving holistic health and well-being.
Principles of naturopathy
The healing power of nature: Nature has the innate ability to heal.
Identify and treat the cause: There is always an underlying cause, be it physical or emotional.
Do no harm: A naturopath does not use treatments that may create other conditions.
Treat the whole person: When preparing a treatment plan, all aspects of a person’s being are taken into consideration.
The physician as teacher: A naturopath empowers the patient to take responsibility for his own health by teaching self-care.
Prevention is better than cure: A naturopath may remove toxic substances and situations from a patient’s lifestyle to prevent the onset of health problems.
Naturopathy and holistic health consultation
Iridology is the examination and analysis of the coloured portion of the eye, the iris, in order to determine factors that may be important in the prevention and treatment of a health issue.
One of the advantages of iridology is that it can reveal the strengths and weaknesses of an individual's health. The iris can suggest that if there is an issue, more than one organ are involved or some emotional or mental element exists.
