Naturopathic medicine is a combination of science and art. Expressions of health and disease are considered reflections of the dynamic interchange between the physical, mental, social, environmental and spiritual aspects of the individual. As the processes in the body are highly connected, it is necessary to look at the body as a whole and address dysfunctions in each area, as they may influence a seemingly unrelated process that results in the signs and symptoms of a disease or disorder.

By addressing the person as a whole, Naturopathy is able to determine the root cause of an individual's problems and through treatment, allow their body to recover from the root cause rather than only treating the symptoms, as is often the case in Western Medicine. If the signs and symptoms are all that is treated, but the root cause remains, those signs and symptoms will persist and will require continual relief, causing a dependency on Western Medicine. Whereas Naturopathy aims to treat the root cause, which will in turn, resolve the signs and symptoms of discomfort.

It empowers the individual to participate in the healing process, and to be responsible for one's own state of health.

Naturopathy uses different modalities in treatment based on scientifically researched evidence, traditional medicine and empirical evidence to support the person's well-being.

A naturopathic consultation offers holistic health restoration using natural substances, dietary and life style advice to stimulate and maintain individuals innate healing process. It supports and recognises the body's own ability to self regulate and heal with inherent ability of Vital Force.

Naturopathic practice incorporates the Western herbal medicine and Naturopathic nutritional medicine in many different treatments of medical conditions. It also includes lifestyle counselling, coaching and a long term health plan as a prevention or treatment of existing conditions.
