Naturopathy
What is Naturopathy?
Naturopathy focuses on holistic healthcare, using natural practices like herbal medicine, nutrition and lifestyle changes to support the body’s healing abilities.
Rather than just treating symptoms, naturopaths take a highly individualised approach to address the root causes, aiming for overall wellness and balance in mind, body, and spirit.
Naturopaths can offer personalised advice regarding diet and supplementation before and after cancer treatment to maximise recovery and manage symptoms and side effects.
By strengthening the immune system and promoting internal balance, naturopathy supports resistance to infection and illness and can help you bounce back quicker post treatment.
