Questions
Before you book
What is naturopathy?
Naturopathy is the practice of natural medicine, using various treatments to treat and prevent illness. Naturopaths are trained in anatomy, physiology, herbal medicine, nutrition, diet and lifestyle, supplements, flower essences, mineral therapy, homeopathy, iris diagnosis, counselling and massage.
I have never been to a naturopath. What should I expect?
A detailed health history covering diet, lifestyle, habits and how your body is working, with a focus on what brings you in. Then a short examination, which may include blood pressure, palpation, iris diagnosis, a urine test, and tongue and nail analysis. Tiva uses this to prescribe the advice, herbs, supplements and changes to diet and lifestyle that suit you.
What is homeopathy?
Homeopathy is based on the principle that like is cured by like, described by Dr Samuel Hahnemann in 1796. Remedies are prepared from substances to precise standards and then potentised, leaving a minuscule amount of the original substance. They aim to stimulate the body’s own healing.
