An Holistic Approach

At Nicole Sky Natural Medicine, we follow the core principles of naturopathic medicine to guide people on their journey towards better health and wellness. Naturopathic principles are grounded in the belief that the body has an innate ability to heal when given the right tools and support. Here’s a closer look at the six foundational naturopathic principles:

1. The healing power of nature (Vis Medicatrix Naturae):

• Naturopathic medicine honours the body’s natural ability to heal itself. We aim to remove obstacles to healing while supporting your body with natural treatments like herbal medicine, food as medicine, and lifestyle changes.

2. Identify and treat the root cause (Tolle Causam):

• Naturopathic practitioners focus on identifying the root cause of illness rather than simply addressing symptoms. By addressing the source of the problem, we promote long-lasting wellness.

3. First do no harm (Primum Non Nocere): 

• Naturopathic treatments are gentle and non-invasive, minimising the risk of side effects. We choose the most effective and least harmful therapies to support your body’s healing process.

4. Doctor as teacher (Docere): 

• Education is a key aspect of naturopathic medicine. We believe in empowering our clients with knowledge, so they can make informed decisions about their health.

5. Treat the whole person (Tolle Totum): 

• Naturopathic care takes a holistic approach, considering the mind, body, and spirit. Each treatment plan is individualised to address physical, emotional, and mental aspects of health.

6. Prevention (Praevenire): 

• Naturopathic medicine emphasises preventive care. By adopting healthy habits and addressing imbalances early, we aim to prevent illness before it starts.
