Who comes to see a Naturopathic practitioner? My practice is open to everyone and I see all ages, anyone who would like to improve their health as naturally as possible.
Could Naturopathy assist someone who is struggling with their mental health, or experiencing high stress or distress? In what ways? Naturopathy can improve mental health in a number of ways. Recent research has shown gut health to have a big impact on mood. There are more serotonin receptors in the gut than the brain so a healthy gut supports a healthy mind. Naturopathy also helps the nervous system and brain chemical imbalances including inflammation, which can also have a big impact on mental health.
How can people learn more about Naturopathy? The Australian Natural Therapist Association has a good description of many natural therapies including Naturopathy. People are welcome to contact me with any enquiries. I also have a newsletter that people can sign up to from my website.
