WHAT IS NATUROPATHY?
Naturopathy refers to a holistic system of natural treatments and methods, such as nutrition, lifestyle advice or Bach flower remedies, used to encourage and support the body’s own self healing mechanisms. Naturopathy primary aims are to to treat the root cause of disease and treat the person as a whole, by supporting physical symptoms as well as mental and emotional health.
Nutrition and Lifestyle
Nutrition and lifestyle medicine is a key factor when looking at how we approach disease. 70 - 80% of our immune system is located within our gut, so it’s no wonder that the digestive system is known as ‘the second brain’. Medical professionals all over the world are recognising the benefits that dietary and lifestyle changes can have on negative inflammatory responses in the body, which are present in majority of ailments.
Understanding the role that nutrition and diet plays in women’s health and fertility, is therefore an extremely important consideration when seeking to restore wellbeing and improve the chances of conceiving. Foods can have the ability to heal and nurture the body, or aggravate depending on each individual clients physical and emotional health. Working with my clients to restore their optimum health, with dietary, supplement and lifestyle recommendations is therefore, a core component to their individual treatment after-care programme.
BACH FLOWERS
Bach Flower therapy is a natural, safe energetic based therapy, using essences of certain flowers to help ease emotional complaints such as mood changes, negative emotional states or distress, anxiety and daily stress. The therapy was named after Dr Edward Bach, a highly regarded physician whose research led him to conclude that the emotional states played a important role in disease and maintenance of good health.
I understand that the journey to parenthood is often challenging and overwhelming and that certain emotions may surface as a result of this. The 38 remedies in the Bach Flower system have been created to correspond to different shades of emotion, some of which may arise during this journey, such as fear, worry, resentment and frustration. Bach flowers have been proven to soothe these negative emotions and restore balance between mind and body which is a really important focus in fertility and health optimisation.
