Naturopathy

Almost every client reports better energy levels, even when fatigue wasn’t one of the symptoms bringing them in in the first place

This is your health journey. You will know what is happening, why and how each part of your treatment plan is moving you towards your health goals. Being informed and in control of your own health, naturally is the best way to true health, happiness and vitality

There is no one size fits all with Naturopathy. Every treatment plan is different because it is tailored to you according to all of the information gathered in the extra time and care you receive when you have a naturopathic appointment

In a naturopathic appointment you get 2 to 10 times more one on one time to relax, tell your whole story, be listened to and work together to produce a set of health goals and a treatment plan that will work best for you

Rather than waiting until you have a disease which can be named and treated with medications, naturopathy is about addressing niggling changes and symptoms to put the body back on the path to true health and prevent it progressing towards a diseased state. This promotes long term health to keep you active, happy and well into your later years

Most pharmaceutical medications come with a warning list of possible side effects or then require you to take other medications to deal with these side effects. Natural medicine is far safer and has few, if any side effects. And when they do, they are usually just positives such as better energy, better sleep, healthier skin, a stronger immune system etc. They work with your body to produce true healing rather than just masking your symptoms

At Balm Natural Health, we are all about science, nature and offering a realistic, achievable treatment path to better health. You won’t be told to carry crystals, eat only organic, or cut out everything from your life that you love. We work with you and your circumstances. We understand not everyone can live the perfect, macrobiotic, organic Zen lifestyle of rich and famous celebrities. We prescribe realistic goals, suggestions and foods and aim to keep the cost of any necessary supplements and herbal medicines as affordable as possible. You will understand why you are taking what you are taking and how it is going to help you feel better.

Once you have made your first appointment, you will be sent a confirmation email containing details about what to have with you during your appointment and some forms and appropriate questionnaires to fill out and send back before your appointment. These questionnaires give a very good indication as to your state of health and any suboptimal processes occurring in your body. They often cut out the need for specific pathological testing which can become expensive. However, these tests are still available if you prefer or are interested in obtaining further confirmation.

Your first appointment takes around an hour to an hour and a half. During this time we discuss your health and symptoms in depth (both current and historic). Please be completely honest. We do not judge anyone for their lifestyle or food choices but need to know exactly where things stand in order to formulate the best, most appropriate and effective treatment plan. Balm Natural Health wants to obtain the best result possible for you. After the initial appointment, we take all of the information gained and spend time researching, analysing and formulating a treatment plan perfectly tailored to you. The cost of this appointment covers the extra time taken for analysis, research and creation of your unique health folder including your printed treatment plan.

Your next appointment will occur within one week of the first appointment. During this appointment we will present our findings to you and carefully explain the treatment plan formulated for you and why each element has been included. You will receive : A clear summary of the health goals to be achieved plus summarised results from all of the information collected in your part 1 appointment, so you know exactly how you are doing and where your health currently stands. A summary of what we believe is going on in your body. Your comprehensive treatment plan which can be tracked to assess your progress. Comprehensive, easy to understand information sheets which specifically relate to you and your presentation. Specific diet and lifestyle recommendations.
