How it works
How naturopathic care works
Naturopathic care can include herbal medicine, nutritional medicine, dietary and lifestyle strategies, and testing where appropriate. What is recommended depends on your individual health concerns, history and goals.
Herbal medicine
When herbal medicine is appropriate, your naturopath selects and combines herbs for your individual needs. Formulas can be adjusted over time as your circumstances and response to treatment change.
Nutritional medicine
Food and dietary changes are considered first where appropriate, with nutritional supplements recommended when there is a clear reason to use them.
In person or by telehealth
Consultations are available in person, by phone or by video at the same fee. If your concerns require a physical assessment, your naturopath will let you know and arrange an in-person appointment.
Testing, where appropriate
Testing can sometimes help answer a specific clinical question. Depending on your circumstances, this may include pathology, functional testing, saliva hormone testing or hair mineral analysis. Your naturopath will explain why a test may be useful and its cost before you decide whether to proceed.
Testing
Tests you can order
Three laboratory tests can be ordered directly, without a consultation first. Each has its own page explaining what it measures, how to collect your sample, and what the result can and cannot tell you.
Saliva hormone testing
Collect saliva samples at home at specified times, then send them to a laboratory for analysis. Three kits measure different hormone patterns, depending on the question you are trying to investigate.
$185.00–$235.00
Hair mineral testing
A hair sample collected at home is analysed for 36 elements, including essential minerals and potentially toxic elements. It is a screening measurement, not a stand-alone diagnostic test, and results need to be considered alongside your health history and circumstances.
$285.00
Hair mineral testing for pets
Hair mineral testing for dogs and horses, measuring 31 elements from a sample collected at home. The report is intended for your veterinarian to consider alongside the animal's history and clinical findings.
$345.00
A laboratory report is not a diagnosis on its own. Where testing is appropriate, your naturopath can explain what it may help clarify and how the results should be considered in the context of your medical history, medications, symptoms and other relevant information before any clinical decisions are made.
Before ordering a hair test
A hair mineral order requires three things:
- Your sample
- Your completed questionnaire
- Your payment
The laboratory cannot begin until all three have arrived. A sample sent without the completed questionnaire will be held until the missing information is received.
Conditions
What people come here with
People seek naturopathic care for a wide range of health concerns. These are some of the areas the naturopaths here commonly work with. If you don't see your particular concern listed, contact us and we'll let you know whether naturopathy may be appropriate.
Digestive and gut health
Digestive concerns are one of the main reasons people see the naturopaths here. We consider your symptoms alongside your diet, lifestyle, health history and other relevant factors.
Hormonal, fertility and reproductive health
Naturopathic care may be considered alongside appropriate medical care for concerns relating to menstrual health, fertility, reproductive health and menopause.
Skin, immune and autoimmune health
Skin and immune concerns can have multiple contributing factors. Your naturopath will consider your individual history and circumstances when deciding what areas may be relevant to your care.
Energy, stress and metabolic health
People also seek naturopathic support when fatigue, prolonged stress, changes in weight or other health concerns are affecting their everyday life.
This is not an exhaustive list. Naturopathic care does not replace appropriate medical diagnosis or treatment. Where your concerns require assessment by a GP, specialist or other health professional, your naturopath will discuss this with you and may recommend appropriate referral.
