What is Naturopathy?
Naturopathy is an integral approach which is based on the principle that the body has the innate ability to heal itself with the power of nature – vis medicatrix naturae. It seeks to identify underlying symptom patterns that indicate how the body is or has become dysfunctional. Naturopathy focuses on treating the whole person with safe and effective natural treatment methods. Besides your mental and physical state, holistic naturopathy also takes into consideration your environment and lifestyle
Everyone of us is unique in our way of thinking and living and therefore a treatment and consultation differs. Each unbalance and illness can be seen as a chance to bring a change in one or more areas of your life to create the possibility for further development and growth. Each patient is provided with personalised care and the therapy is customised to one´s specific needs.
“Health is the expression of a harmonious balance between various components of man’s nature, the environment and ways of life – nature is the physician of disease.”
Hippocrates (Father of Medicine; about 400 BC)
How a naturopathic session with me can help you
I listen to your story and your individual experiences of your symptoms and health concerns. Besides treating acute health issues, I develop as well more comprehensive treatment plans for more complicated and chronic health problems. In the primary appointment, alongside a treatment, I give you ideas for diet and lifestyle changes and if necessary a prescription of vitamins, herbs and minerals as well as exercises.
My goal is to help you achieve and maintain optimal health. I strive to provide the best individualised care and consultation for you.
In addition to my general practice, I have profound experience in several areas: women’s health, fertility issues, hormone/endocrine disorders, weight loss, digestive and sleep disorders and skin problems.
In my practice for naturopathy in Barcelona I use the following treatment methods
- Traditional Chinese Medicine
- Acupuncture and Acupressure
- Moxibustion (local heat treatment with moxa)
- Gua Sha (scraping)
- Cupping
- Dietetics/dietary consultation
