Naturopath Philosophy

The word “naturopathy” is a broad term used to describe a natural medicine physician trained in the areas of western herbal medicine and natural therapies. The practice of naturopathy is also known as alternative medicine, integrative medicine or natural therapies in Australia. Naturopathy includes a multimodality approach, incorporating nutrition (which includes diet and lifestyle modification and vitamin and mineral therapy), herbal medicine, homeopathy and iridology. Iridology is often used as a diagnostic aid to compliment the other tools. Physical therapies may also be employed, including therapeutic massage and remedial massage. A naturopath should be eclectic, using a mixture of these therapies, or specialise in one or more. The key is to tailor the consultation and treatment to the individual patient.

Tongue and Throat Treatment options

The symptoms expressed by an individual in a state of disease are produced by the body in an attempt to heal.  The naturopath’s first task is to identify any factors in the patient’s diet, lifestyle or environment that may be contributing to the problem and to assist in removing them.  If any therapy is given, it should aid what the body is trying to do to assist the body to balance again into a state of health.  The naturopathic approach aims where possible not just to remove the symptoms but also to remove the reason for the symptoms.

Hair Mineral Analysis Testing

The Cura clinic uses this important test for patients to assess nutrition levels and toxic load in the tissue. The Hair mineral analysis (HMA) is a safe, non-invasive test that measures levels of elements and ratios of nutrients found in hair.  

Hair Mineral Analysis (HMA) can detect whether there is an excess or deficiency of vital nutrient minerals such as calcium, potassium, zinc and iron. It can also identify over-exposure to heavy metals such as lead, mercury, arsenic or aluminium and is therefore used for heavy metal testing. HMA is an invaluable screening tool in both every day and preventative health care.
