A naturopath employs a range of non-invasive techniques and these include (but are not limited to):

​

• nutrition and dietary advice. A poor diet stops the body from functioning well and a build-up of toxins can lead to a range of illnesses. Whole, fresh and unprocessed foods are recommended

• herbal medicine – herbs can support the body

• homeopathy – homeopathic treatments are used to stimulate the body

• hydrotherapy (water therapy). For instance, the use of hot and cold compresses might be used for certain conditions to influence the flow of blood and body heat

• physical therapies – such as massage, Bowen, acupressure, bio-puncture or mechanotherapy

• kinesiology and integrated bio-dynamics (IBD)

• counselling techniques – emotional problems and stress can interfere with the healing process. Counselling techniques can include stress management strategies and life coaching.
