Naturopathy is a holistic approach to healthcare that focuses on using natural remedies and therapies to promote self-healing and overall wellness. Rooted in the belief that the body has an innate ability to heal itself, naturopathy combines traditional healing methods with modern science to treat the whole person—mind, body, and spirit.
What is Naturopathy?
Naturopathy emphasises prevention, treatment, and optimal health through the use of a variety of modalities such as nutrition, herbal medicine, and lifestyle counselling. The goal of naturopathy is to address the root causes of illness rather than just alleviating symptoms, and to work preventatively for good health.
Naturopaths take the time to understand their patients' unique health histories, lifestyle choices, and emotional states to create personalised treatment plans. This comprehensive approach not only aims to resolve existing ailments but also to prevent future health issues and promote long-term wellness.
Naturopathy at ATUNE
At ATUNE Health Centres, we have a selection of Naturopaths available for in clinic consultations, where your full history is discussed, and a longer-term treatment plan is created just for you. Usually, follow-up appointments are required to review your treatment and ensure progress is tracking as expected.
Our Naturopaths can interpret any relevant test results you may have, and request a range of functional testing if required, including food intolerance and microbiome testing. An in-clinic appointment suits anyone who wants to gain control of their health, address any immediate or chronic health conditions and dig deep into their health story.
We also have a Naturopath staffed Acute Herbal Dispensary, open weekdays 10-2 for any short-term health concerns able to be addressed with a quick discussion. Things like colds and flu, aches and pains, sleep disturbance or simply a supplement review to ensure you are taking the very best, and only what is necessary, for your health. You are welcome to drop in for a chat to see how we can help.
