ABOUT NATUROPATHY
WHAT IS A NATUROPATH?
Our Naturopaths are qualified healthcare practitioners who have studied Health Science for a minimum of 3 years in order to help you to acheive your health goals. We study Anatomy & Physiology, Nutritional Biochemistry, Herbal Medicine, and Clinical Medicine. We also do additional study throughout the year in order to be registered by a professional association. At David Peirce Naturopath, we love to stay up to date with the latest scientific research to help you achieve the best possible outcomes. Our passion is to help you to be as healthy as possible!
WHY WOULD I SEE A NATUROPATH?
Our basic philosophy is that, given the right circumstances, your body will heal itself. Although modern medicine can be very clever at diagnosing disease and developing drugs to reduce symptoms, it often fails to address the underlying cause. Many of our patients use both pharmaceutical medicine and Natural medicine side by side. Over time, your requirement for drugs may reduce in conjunction with your medical doctor's advice. Our goal is to help you to feel and look as good as you can!
DOES NATURAL MEDICINE WORK?
That's a great question! Research using Natural compounds is a massive area of medicine as teams of Doctors, Scientists and Patients work together to find out what works and what doesn't in practically every area of health and disease. In addition to the mountains of positive studies on Diet, Exercise, Lifestyle, Nutritional and Herbal Medicines already done, there are many more in progress. Recent studies are being designed much better than they have been in the past. The future looks very good indeed!
