“An apple a day, keeps the Dr at bay”
As this old saying reports, Naturopathic Medicine uses lifestyle and food as medicine for wellbeing and overall healing. It accepts that our symptoms may have a ‘root’ and ‘driver’ or cause to them, rather than a “pill for an ill” approach. At Kitchen Buddy, we place plants at centre stage to help support health and well-being.
Naturopathic Medicine seeks to harmonise the systems throughout our body, to provide a long lasting positive effect, rather than to promote a quick fix.
Naturopathy (study of Nature- cure medicine) offers a holistic approach, based on functional medicine research and a background in traditional ancient wisdom; Chinese Medicine, Ayurveda and traditional Afro-Caribbean remedies.
A short history of medicine (Anon.)
“I have Earache …”
2000 B.C. Here, eat this root.
1000 A.D. That root is heathen, say this prayer.
1850 A.D. That prayer is superstition, drink this potion.
1940 A.D. That potion is snake oil, swallow this pill.
1985 A.D. That pill is ineffective, take this antibiotic.
2000 A.D. That antibiotic is artificial. Here, eat this root…
What is health? Our health is not simply the absence of an illness or dis-ease but feeling well in all areas of our daily lives with our workstudy and occupations, down to our relationships with ourselves and others and the world as a whole. It considers our emotions as well as our physiology.
I work in a Naturopathic form, which envisages that a number of symptoms almost as ‘clues’ that lead to discoveries. It’s this method which has proved to be so successful and rewarding as a method of discovering the ’causes’ or ‘drivers’ for the ‘dis-ease’ within a patient underin my clinical caresupervision.
It proves itself to be adept as a means to learn more about the human body & mind (and spirit).
We can learn so much from a simple Questionnaire \ To create a harmony, strive at creating a balance
This is a continual process, as during the initial consult only a certain amount of information is gained and this process continues over time, whilst a patient continues to make steady, gradual, progress.
