So, is natural medicine for you?  Absolutely.

In many cases natural medicine can be used to aid healing, boost the body’s natural defences, repair injured tissues, reduce pain, alleviate symptoms, prevent illness, and generally put you on a path to wellness rather than illness.

Whatever your health concern, there may be assistance from natural medicines.  Joanne sees clients from birth, throughout childhood and studying years, in busy adult years, to set the scene for fertility and pregnancy, to help in the middle years when chronic problems often start to be noticed, through to the older years when maintaining independence is critical to enjoying life.

Listed below are just some of the conditions that may be helped with natural medicines.  There are many others, but just to give you an idea:

• Skin—acne, boils, rashes, eczema, oedema, etc.
• Musculoskeletal—arthritis, aches and pains, restless legs,
  osteoporosis, etc.
• Immune system—allergies, frequent infections, getting healthy before winter or before travel, etc.

• Respiratory problems—including asthma, infections, blocked sinuses, hayfever, etc.
• Digestive imbalances—including reflux, indigestion, irritable bowel, Crohn’s, constipation, diarrhoea, diverticulitis, liver/detoxification, blood sugar irregularities/diabetes, etc.
• Female issues—including heavy menstrual bleeding, PMT/PMS, menopause, fertility, etc.
• Male problems—including impotence, prostate, fertility issues.
• Nervous system—stress, insomnia, depression, twitching, ADD/ADHD, autistic spectrum disorders, etc.
• Cardiovascular—atherosclerosis, varicose veins, high blood pressure, etc.
• Endocrine—thyroid, weight issues, hormonal balance, etc.
• And many others.

Also, there are many areas where natural medicine may help in preventing chronic disease progression.  Health plans can be developed to aid in achieving long term health goals, such as losing weight, getting fit, having a baby, etc.  Health plans can also be useful in identifying and subsequently preventing diseases that may be prevalent in our families, or that may develop as a result of our diet, lifestyle, exercise, work or stress factors.

Our aim is to help you achieve your health goals through the provision of well researched and realistic advice and the use of natural remedies that have stood the test of time.
