Naturopathy and Naturopathic Medicine in London
Naturopathy and Naturopathic Medicine in London
The principle of Naturopathy first emerged with the Ancient Greeks when the philosopher Hippocrates argued that only the natural world could improve an individuals health. Although contemporary Naturopathy didn’t develop until the 19th Century — but Hippocrates’ nature-based philosophy continues to infuse the practice.
Naturopathy is an umbrella term for a wide range of natural therapies, collectively known as “nature cures.” These therapies include herbal medicine, homoeopathy, and hydrotherapy. Similarly to other holistic therapies, naturopathy rebalances, restores, and revives the body by triggering the body’s natural self-healing potential.
By approaching each person as an individual, naturopathy considers all of the things that make you, you. Your genetics, biochemistry, emotional state and your physical body are all examined to craft a program tailored to your needs and requirements. Not only can naturopathy be used to heal pre-existing conditions, but research suggests it may also help to prevent the development of diseases and disorders.

What Are the Benefits of Naturopathy?
Nature can heal all. By harnessing the healing, nurturing and enriching power of the natural world, naturopathy treats and cures a range of illnesses, imbalances, aches and pain.
Among the many benefits of naturopathy are:
- Boosted immunity
- Relief from chronic pain
- Balanced weight
- Enhanced fitness levels
- Reduced stress
- Increased energy
- Greater harmony between body and mind
At the very heart of naturopathy is a focus on your reaction to the world around you. What you eat, the way you move through the world, the way you react to stimuli are all considered. As you progress through your treatment, you will learn how to become more in tune with the natural world and feel happier and more positive about your space within it.
What to Expect From a Naturopathic Session?
Your naturopathic session will kick off with an initial consultation that will last roughly an hour. In this time, your Naturopath will ask you a series of questions about your medical history, lifestyle, mental wellbeing and diet. They may also undertake a short physical examination, which may include a candida test, a urine test, a blood test, an eye test and a tongue test. It may seem a little full-on, but the more information your therapist has about your health and wellbeing, the more accurate their diagnosis and the more effective your treatment.
Once the therapist has a clear picture of your health and needs, they will then work with you to put together a treatment plan. This plan will take into account all of your individual needs and goals, and will be designed to fit into your daily life and interests. By taking this holistic approach, your treatment will not only work to heal your body but also fire up your body’s natural self-healing capabilities.
Treatment plans vary from person to person, but will commonly include insightful advice on an optimum diet, exercise regimen, as well as herbal medicines and homoeopathic treatments. Your therapist will guide you through every step of the plan, so you’re able to integrate each aspect into your life.
