Naturopath
Prevention is better than cure
Naturopath Peta Zafir applies all-natural therapies focusing on 5 areas of recovery: psychological, mental, physical, emotional, and spiritual aspects of the whole person: considering nutrition, supplements, lifestyle, environmental toxins, and incorporating a range of therapeutic tools.
The principles of Naturopathy were first used by the Hippocratic School of Medicine in about 400 BC. The Greek philosopher Hippocrates believed in viewing the whole person regarding finding a cause of disease and using the laws of nature to induce a cure. It was from this original belief that the following six points became important for a Naturopath:
1. The healing power of nature- nature has the innate ability to heal
2. Identify and treat the cause – find an underlying cause
3. Do no harm- I use no treatments that may cause other issues or that have caused harm in their making
4. Treat the whole person, not only the symptoms
5. Education – empower the client and teach self-awareness
6. Prevention is always better than cure
Naturopathic care suits to all ages, conditions and stages of illness
