Honouring nature's wisdom - Supporting modern-day living

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 
 
 

Increasingly, science is confirming many of naturopathy’s concepts. Treatments with us blend up-to-date scientific knowledge with nature’s inherent healing wisdom.

Naturopaths and herbalists treat the whole person, not a specific ailment or part of the body. Our holistic approach to health means we address the causes of disorders, not just the symptoms. We use minerals, vitamins, herbal medicines, homoeopathy, flower essences and dietary therapy to support and restore the body’s own defence and restorative mechanisms.

At Herbs on the Hill, we understand that abiding by naturopathic advice can be easier said than done. Everyday activities such as work, study and socialising can detract the best of intentions quite easily.

Our approach to naturopathy and herbal medicine takes this into account. Our treatment plans are realistic, with all herbal medicine, vitamin, mineral and diet prescriptions carefully selected to be manageable and effective.

Part of the consultation process is to view an iris photo; this provides valuable insight into the overall functioning of the body’s major systems and their interaction. The benefits are many and you are very much part of the process. This helps you stay on track as you gain an understanding of how the problem arose and how we plan to repair it.

 

 


 

 

 


 

 

Naturopathic concepts being confirmed


•    Naturopaths have long understood there is a very strong brain-gut connection. Science is now demonstrating the majority of the body’s serotonin (an important mood-related hormone) is produced and utilised in the gut.

•    Naturopaths have long understood that acid reflux and heart burn can be associated, in a significant number of cases,  with insufficient stomach acid (as back to front as this may seem initially).  This is being confirmed by recent scientific research.
