Naturopathy

Naturopathy is an holistic approach to treating the whole person, not just the disease. It is based on the belief that the body will find a way to heal itself, given the right opportunities.

Tania Sellwood is a Naturopathic Doctor trained in Australia, now based in Romsey, Hampshire.  Tania is very passionate about her work and within this role she unravels the symptoms and helps to identify the cause of imbalance that is leading to your feelings of illness or disease.

For example, you may experience:

Lack of energy
Insomnia
Headache
Weight gain
IBS and Bloating
Constipation
Skin disorders such as acne, psoriasis, eczema
Menstrual concerns

 

All of these symptoms can be treated separately with a painkiller for the headache, a pill to regulate your hormonal imbalance, antibiotics for skin concerns and possibly anti-depressants for your moods and sleeping concerns. But these are only treating the symptoms of the problem and when you stop taking the tablets you will find you still have the problem – unless you identify and change the cause of the imbalance.

The naturopathic approach to health concerns

Naturopathic consultations

During a consultation there will be time to look at the whole person, not just one symptom. When consideration is given to all aspects of your health, wellbeing and lifestyle, it becomes clear where underlying foundational changes need to be made.

With an understanding of these required changes and ideas of how best to implement them in your daily life, you’ll be able to make the right choices to create a new you.

Nutrition, Herbal Medicine, Flower Essences

Treatments are given in the form of diet and lifestyle advice, with nutritional or herbal supplements as necessary. The emphasis is on educating you to understand the underlying cause of imbalance and being able to make lasting, sustainable changes towards improved health and wellbeing, natural vitality and longevity.

Herbal Medicine can be used to help to detoxify the body, its systems and organs.  Herbs can also be used to strengthen and return vitality to organs helping to achieve optimal wellbeing.

As a qualified Western Herbal Medicine practitioner, Tania Sellwood often uses herbs as part of a naturopathic treatment protocol in order to:

  • strengthen and support the body’s natural detoxification systems
  • help bring vitality and wellness to all areas of the body, and
  • assist with the adaptations needed to cope with anxious or stressful situations

Australian Bush Flower Essences are often used to help restore emotional balance to people.  These can be quite transformative in a very gentle yet dynamic way.

Taking time out to relax and restore the body and mind is often a missing ingredient in peoples wellbeing.   Massage is encouraged as part of the wellbeing package.
