What Does A Naturopath Actually Do?

Naturopaths are like the general practitioners of natural therapies. They study a four-year Bachelor of Health Science in Naturopathy to learn how to blend modern scientific knowledge with traditional and natural forms of medicine, making them a great starting point to access the world of holistic health care.

You Are Designed To Heal

Take you mind back to your childhood and remember all the cuts and scrapes you had, possibly even the bones you broke and the childhood illnesses you navigated. There may be the odd scar here that serve as testament to your healing prowess.

What if pain was our Friend?

Research has shown that there are no pain receptors in the body only receptors/nociceptors that detect unpleasant stimuli.

The amount of pain we feel is always real to us – I am NOT suggesting it is imagined in any way – but the intensity of pain experienced is NOT dependent upon the amount of damage or problems in the body’s structures. There are countless stories of people who have had no pain when they have suffered a severe injury or conversely people who have experienced horrendous pain with no known cause. There is the famous story of the man who shot a nail through his foot and was brought to hospital in agony only for the hospital staff to remove his boot to discover the nail had gone between his toes. Lorimer Moseley a leading pain researcher has written an interesting book about it called, ‘Painful Yarns: Metaphors & Stories to Help Understand the Biology of Pain.’
