What is Naturopathic Medicine?

Naturopathic medicine is a distinct system of primary health care that emphasizes prevention and the self-healing process through the use of natural therapies. While the roots of naturopathic medicine date back to the 1890s, naturopathic medicine has witnessed a rapid increase in public interest in recent years as a result of the growing consumer movement to solve the health care puzzle using prevention, wellness and respect for nature's inherent healing ability.  

Naturopathic diagnosis focuses on identifying the underlying causes of disease, while naturopathic therapies are supported by research drawn from peer-reviewed journals from many disciplines, including naturopathic medicine, conventional medicine, European complementary medicine, clinical nutrition, phytotherapy, pharmacognosy, homeopathy, psychology and spirituality.

 

What is Phytotherapy?

Phytotherapy is the practice of modern western herbal medicine. It is a rational approach based upon a combination of understanding the contemporary scientific evidence base for herbal medicine, while appreciating the insights that can be gained from traditional herbal medicine texts and records, and by learning from clinical experience by ongoing reflective practice. It combines orthodox medical skills and knowledge with a scientific understanding of plants and their effects on the body.

Herbal medicines derive from plants and can be found in the form of liquid medicine, tea, tablets, capsules, powders, lotions and creams. They are selected and combined to meet the individual needs of each patient. 

 

What is Functional Immunology?

Immunology is the study of the immune system and is a very important branch of the medical and biological sciences. The immune system protects us from infection through various lines of defence. If the immune system is not functioning as it should, it can result in disease, such as autoimmunity, allergy and cancer. It is also now becoming clear that immune responses contribute to the development of many common disorders not traditionally viewed as immunologic, including metabolic, cardiovascular, and neurodegenerative conditions. Whereas traditional immunology uses pharmaceuticals to control an aberrant immune system by blocking certain pathways the tools of Functional Immunology are mostly herbal extracts and specific nutrients which when chosen wisely can be used to programme naive T cells, modulate certain pathways and reduce unwanted activity and to increaase a more desirable activity. Micro immunotherapy medicines are another way of tackling immune system issues. In this way an excessively overactive or inflamed body can be made less inflaamed or an immune system that is underactive with poor innate immunity can be improved. Specialist lab tests can be used if needed to provide more precise knowledge about a patients immune status.
