Naturopathy
Naturopathy
Naturopathy is based on six principles which relate back to the great philosopher Hippocrates. Hippocrates believed that the body needs to be viewed as a whole when finding the cause of the disease and treating the person using the healing power of nature.
The six principles of Naturopathy are:
❀ The healing power of nature
❀ Identify and treat the cause
❀ Do no harm
❀ Treat the whole person
❀ The Naturopath as a teacher
❀ Prevention is better than cure
The first consultation
Conny allocates 75 minutes for an initial consultation. The first 45 to 60 minutes are used to take a comprehensive case history, including family history, asking questions about your diet, lifestyle and environmental factors and any medications and supplements you are currently taking. In her assessments Conny also uses iridology, nail and tongue analysis.
The remaining time is spent preparing the first treatment protocol and if needed, recommend further pathology tests, such as saliva hormone testing, hair mineral analysis, blood tests.
A follow-up consultation, for which 45 minutes are allocated will be scheduled 2 to 4 weeks after the initial consultation, depending on whether further tests are necessary.
