‘Genius is one percent inspiration, ninety-nine percent perspiration’. Thomas Edison
An initial Naturopathic consult is of one hour duration. During this time a detailed case history is taken which includes questions on your current health issues, family medical history, a review of your body systems (gastrointestinal, reproductive etc.), and basic physical assessments such as blood pressure, weight and measurements. This enables us to identify the predisposing and sustaining causes of your ill health, and to formulate an appropriate treatment plan.
Return consultations are of 40 minutes duration and are generally scheduled several weeks after the initial consult to allow the Naturopath to review the outcomes of any herbal treatment, nutritional supplementation, dietary changes and lifestyle advice. These consults provide an opportunity to discuss improvements made and roadblocks preventing the achievement of desired goals. Whilst Naturopathic treatment is patient-centric, it does generally require you to undertake a process of change and may include ‘homework’ such as a diet diary. It is difficult to say how long you will need to see a Naturopath for as some conditions are more chronic than others and require a longer treatment process. Some conditions respond favourably to treatment within the short term (bloating and digestive issues), while reproductive issues may take more time to address.
