Individualised Treatment ProgramsHelen doesn't believe in a one size fits all approach. Her goal is to tailor a program that is specific to your needs. She does not treat specific conditions but rather how that condition manifests in you individually. For example although two patients may suffer from stomach pain after eating, one may produce too much acid causing pain while the other may not be producing sufficient acid to digest their meal again causing pain. The treatment for each patient is different. The pace and vigour of the treatment program will depend on the condition being treated (acute or chronic) as well as the patient's vitality. Gentler treatments may be needed for children, people with chronic illnesses or the elderly. Naturopaths are also trained to identify and refer patients who need medical treatment or advice. If appropriate, Helen will work with your doctor to bring about the best outcome for you. Combining natural therapies with prescribed conventional medicine can lead to better health outcomes for you. This may lead to the use of lower drug doses and/or prevention or treatment of side effects. |
