Naturopath

Naturopathy is based on the philosophy that disease can be prevented by supporting the body's innate ability to heal itself. 

Naturopathy is a branch of complementary and alternative medicine that utilises a wide array of natural remedies and techniques to restore and maintain health in a way that encourages and supports the body’s own innate ability to heal itself. Naturopathic medicine aims to identify and treat the cause of imbalance within the body. It not only addresses physical ailments, but also encompasses the mental, emotional, spiritual and environmental aspects of an individual's wellbeing. ​

​Naturopathic treatments include the use of herbal, nutritional and energetic medicine, along with comprehensive dietary and lifestyle advice. Some of the issues our practitioners have experience in treating are:
​
  • Allergies
  • Auto-immune conditions (e.g. Crohn's disease, RA)
  • Baby's & children’s health
  • Cardio-metabolic conditions (e.g. atherosclerosis, diabetes, gout)​
  • Common colds and viruses
  • Digestive health (e.g. IBS, leaky gut, SIBO, GORD / reflux, diverticulitis, parasites)​​
  • Injury rehabilitation (nutritional and herbal support)
  • Mental health (stress management, anxiety, depression, PTSD)
  • Men's health (e.g. infertility, BPH)
  • Pain management 
  • Skin conditions​ (e.g. acne, eczema)
  • Supportive therapy for cancer​

At Funky Forest Health & Wellbeing, each person is treated as an individual, with the belief that no two people or two diseases are the same. You can be sure each treatment plan is tailored specifically for you. We view the body as an integrated whole thus the physical, mental, emotional and spiritual aspects are all integrated into our treatment approach.
​
The 6 principles of naturopathic medicine

PRIMUM NON NOCERE
First do no harm
VIS MEDICATRIX NATURAE
The healing power of nature
TOLLE CAUSAM
Identify and treat the cause
DOCERE
Doctor as teacher
TOLLE TOTUM
​Treat the whole person
PREVENTARE
Prevention is better than cure.

In line with ​our Non-Diet, Body Acceptance, Health at Every Size® philosophy we prioritise a focus on WELLBEING rather than WEIGHT in all services and treatments including our naturopathic approach.

This makes us extremely unique as one of the only HAES-centred natural health care practitioners in Australia at this time.
