Naturopathy is a comprehensive approach to self-improvement of your health based on evaluation and education. Focusing on prevention and using natural substances, naturopathy supports and stimulates the body’s ability to heal itself, leading to full and vibrant health.
Naturopathic methods are gentle and non-invasive.
Identify and Treat the Cause
The main focus of naturopathy is identifying the root cause of a person’s condition as opposed to simply suppressing or treating symptoms. (This can disturb the normal functioning of the body and lead to a weak and toxic state.) For example, education focuses on addressing the reason a person may suffer from headaches, skin problems, or constipation and learning to reverse it and allowing the condition to become less problematic.
Only after trying to understand the mechanism of imbalance that may have caused the problem, can you really start to return to health. By addressing unhealthy habits in living, thinking, working, sleeping (and correcting them), symptoms may disappear or be reduced.

What Can You Expect From a Naturopathic Consultation?
During a naturopathic consultation, a complete picture of each person’s present condition as well as past history and current lifestyle habits such as dietary choices and exercise are evaluated.
It is a combination of these — and often many other factors — which influence your physical, mental and emotional state. You will learn how to assess each of your body systems for its level of functioning: under or over-production, congested, sluggish, exhausted, overcompensating for another body system imbalance, etc.
You will learn how to develop your own individualized plans to strengthen weakened organ systems, replace nutrient deficiencies, aid the body in repair, and relieve stress. This is accomplished through educating each individual on nutrition, good eating habits, exercise, and the benefits of any appropriate supplementation and/or detoxification needed to obtain optimal health.
At YogaPlus, time is taken to get to know you and help you navigate the often perplexing maze of information regarding natural self-help.
