What is Naturopathy?
Naturopathy is a system of healing that aims to provide holistic or whole body healthcare by drawing on treatment methods from several traditional systems of medicine. Naturopathy seeks to use the natural healing powers of the body to cure itself. It focusses on treating the cause of a disease rather than the symptoms themselves.

Although naturopathy is often described as an alternative medicine, it is not really an alternative to modern medicine, but is an additional therapy or alternative for some non-serious medical conditions.

Good health and wellness is what naturopathic treatment is all about. The main emphasis of naturopathic practice is the belief that the body has an inbuilt ability to strive for health. The role of a naturopath is to work with a person to promote the natural healing of the body. Naturopathy is rooted in the belief that health is more than just the absence of disease and works on strengthening the body’s natural defences.

As well as nutrition, Pauline may use herbal medicines, homeopathy,  Bach flower remedies and iridology — a technique in which the iris of the eye is examined and is said to give information about a person's tendency to develop disease.

Common ailments that naturopaths seek to treat or relieve the underlying causes of include:

• allergies, including food allergies;
• arthritic conditions;
• asthma;
• back pain and problems;
• chronic fatigue syndrome;
• constipation;
• depression;
• digestive complaints such as irritable bowel syndrome and ulcers;
• hypertension (high blood pressure);
• menstrual and menopausal problems;
• migraine; and
• skin conditions, such as eczema.
