Naturopathy

An approach to healing based in the European tradition of Naturopathy.

The European style of naturopathy is an ‘eclectic’ approach to healing, where various tools and perspectives are incorporated in order to help set each individual on the right healing path. Herbal remedies, nutrition advice, flower essences, lifestyle changes and more will be recommended to clients as is deemed appropriate for the individual at the time. Dana often uses Traditional Chinese Medicine and/or Ayurvedic theory and diagnostic techniques (tongue and pulse analysis, face reading, etc.) as well as the use of Iridology, the study of the iris of the eye, to ascertain constitutional weakness and confirm suspected areas of disease in the body.

All of Dana’s work is guided by the fundamental principles of naturopathy:

• The WHOLE person is treated – physically, mentally, emotionally and spiritually.
• The PERSON is treated, not the disease, and each individual is unique and each person responds in a different way to different remedies.
• The root (underlying) cause of dysfunction is identified and treated, not the branches (symptoms).
• Vis Medicatrix Naturae - The Healing Power of Nature. There is ‘vital foce’ or ‘life force’ which, given the right conditions, will self-heal or self-correct.
• Health is much greater than just ‘absence of infirmity’ – it should be abundant vitality.
• Prevention is preferable to cure.
