Natural Therapies

Naturopathy

Natural Medicine is a way of helping your body to heal itself, gently. It reminds your body of its natural rhythms which often become disrupted due to our modern lifestyle.

Naturopaths treat holistically, which involves finding the cause of the problem, not just treating the symptoms. This may involve many levels: physical, mental, emotional and spiritual. Together we explore these levels, to identify the most likely causes. The symptoms are of course, treated also, to alleviate your suffering. This way you get a personalised treatment plan, tailored specifically to your needs.

We strongly believe in empowering our clients to take control of their own health and well-being, through education. It is important to us, that this process is seen as a learning experience for both client and naturopath. Through every experience in life, there is growth.

The ultimate goal we have for our clients, is prevention. The emphasis is on building health, not fighting illness. This is done by fostering healthy lifestyles.

Consultation Process

At Gail Matthew Natural Health we feel honoured to have the opportunity to help you improve your health and well-being.

The most important part of the consultation process for us, is the story our client’s have to tell us. A lot can be learnt about what is causing your problems, by simply listening to you. The consultation process is an in-depth one, with the first consultation being approximately 90 minutes long.

The initial consultation looks at your past and present health. All your body systems will be looked at individually, as well as your nutrition and lifestyle. We ask a lot of questions, but this gives us a very good insight into your current state of health and a better understanding of what is balanced in your body, and what is not.

From here other diagnostic tools may be used to assess body function.

A treatment plan will then be discussed. It is important that the treatment plan is one that:

• Helps to achieve your goals

• Is manageable

• Gives symptomatic relief

There are many treatment options available, to achieve the end result of your excellent health. We will only include treatment options that you are happy to use. The treatment options that we offer are:

• Herbal medicine

• Homeobotanical remedies

• Nutrition

• Nutrient supplementation

• Bach flower remedies

• Homeopathic remedies

• Aromatherapy oils

• Lifestyle advice

 

A follow up consultation is 30 - 45 minutes long. Follow-ups are usually scheduled four weeks apart. Here we look at what changes have occurred and reassess the current treatment program.
