Naturopathy – What it is and How You Can Benefit

January 2, 2015 By Jodie Williams

In your quest for a more holistic way of taking care of your health, you hear about somebody who practices naturopathy, and wonder, what is it, and what are the benefits? Naturopathy is a form of alternative medicine that focuses on the following-

  • Herbal Medicine
  • Nutrition
  • Massage
  • Plant and flower essences

This sounds great, but what can you expect from your first visit to a naturopath? Each naturopath practices their craft according to the methods that they were taught. When you come in for the first time, during the consultation the naturopath will ask you questions about your original complaint, such as chronic headaches or a persistent cold. They will inquire as to when the onset of symptoms began, how long have they been bothering you,  and what you suspect may be the cause of your symptoms.

Other things to expect from your initial consultation-

  • Examination of your irises
  • They will look at your tongue
  • Ask for a sample of your diet history
  • Thorough examination of your prior medical history

During your initial consultation they will also ask you questions about how much energy you have, how much sleep you get on a nightly basis, and they will want to know about how you are feeling emotionally. The major plus of using a naturopath is that they take everything into consideration, not just your physical symptoms, but what is going on inside of you.

They will want to know everything about you, from your bowel health, to what your normal diet consists of. Be honest, as your answers will help guide your practitioner's recommendations.

At the conclusion of your first visit, you will be given precise directions in regard to your diet and lifestyle, herbal medicines and supplements, as well as other medicines.

Your naturopath will want to know how you are doing between visits, and will keep in contact with your via phone or email, especially if you are not feeling great. After you have achieved more balanced health, you will be encouraged to come in for an annual check up.

Give your naturopath a call before your first visit to ask any questions that have not been answered here. You might also want to ask if the visit is covered by your health insurance.

Take your health to the next level, and schedule yourself for a complimentary diet and lifestyle analysis today, that will be customized just for you. Naturopathy could be your key to optimal health.
