Nutritional Medicine

This is a treatment that combines the values of Naturopathy where practitioners believe that the body is capable of healing itself given the right circumstances and Biochemistry, the science of how the body functions, by using the natural materials which we eat and drink.

Of course the body heals itself. A person with a cold, who takes no medication at all, will usually get well eventually because the body’s immune system fights the virus which causes the cold, and overcomes it. A person with a much more severe problem often needs more support which can come in many forms of which conventional medicine is just one.

By understanding the Biochemistry of the body, it is possible to support the body with a wider variety of materials than just conventional medicine and which in most cases do not have side effects. e.g. herbal medicine and phytonutrients.

Nutritional Medicine is only relevant where chronic illness is present or where a person is suffering from unwellness, sluggishness, general malaise, aches and pains, stress, unhappiness, mild depression, anxiety and so on. It is not useful in acute cases. e.g. appendicitis
