[ What Is Holistic Medicine
The enormous growth of the natural health industry has underlined the importance of integrating general practice with sensible complementary therapies to ensure the delivery of healthcare that is safe but effective. This approach encourages the sensible prescribing of, and a healthy respect for, natural medicines. Special attention is paid to avoiding drug/herb and drug/nutrient interactions. This can be easily done when medicines & supplements are prescribed within the context of a GP consultation with the aid of a trained Naturopath. At the Holistic Medical Centre, we give sensible, practical advice & encourage patients to be active participants in their own future health. A Naturopath is involved with most consultations with the doctor with no extra charge to the patient. This is especially important for those patients suffering from chronic health problems, as this combined approach can provide remarkable improvements in the area of chronic health. Our patients often remark on feeling very relieved to be able to access complementary and preventative care in a medical environment which is both supportive and professional.
