THE NATUROPATH



Hippocrates (c.460 - c.370 BC) was the Greek 
physician who is now considered as a Father of the Western Medicine. He maintained that the body could heal itself with the aid of natural cures, such as a good diet.

Although the term 'Naturopathy' was not adopted until the end of the 19th century, this system of medicine dates back to Hippocrates, whose recommendations more than 2000 years ago included the maxim 'Let food be your medicine and let your medicine be your food'. 

In the 19th and early 20th century, pioneers such as Stanley Lief in England, Max Bircher-Benner in Switzerland, and Henry Lindlahr in the United States, all ran residential clinics at which patients were able to fast and undergo physical therapy and water treatments to tackle a wide variety of ailments. These forerunners of modern scientific naturopathy were determined advocates of diets low in fats, salt and refined foods-diets that are now widely endorsed by health experts around the world.

Naturopathy is a system of health care that uses natural measures, particularly diet, to restore and promote your body's self healing processes. Taking a holistic approach, a naturopath is able to identify and treat the causes of illness. Naturopaths may advise or apply treatments that differ from those of conventional medicine, but are, nevertheless, complimentary to the services available from your doctor. Instead of relying on drugs, naturopaths use various therapies to capitalise on the body's natural healing ability. Dietary therapy, Fasting, Hydrotherapy, Massage and Osteopathy-one or several of these therapies may be used to treat an individuals ailment.

Naturopaths treat a wide range of illness, both acute and chronic, as well as infections. For acute illnesses, such as colds, coughs and gastroenteritis, the naturopaths will suggest safe and effective ways of relieving the symptoms without the need to resort to antibiotics or other suppressive drugs. The naturopaths will apply similar treatments to alleviate chronic illnesses , such as rheumatism, arthritis, and asthma.

If you want to take personal responsibility for your health and prefer to use natural treatments whenever possible, you might decide to seek the advice of a naturopath. The naturopath tailors his or her advice to your individual needs and will usually suggest modifications to your diet for a few days, in conjunction with other treatments such as herbal remedies.The naturopath is trained in basic medical sciences, such as anatomy, physiology and diagnosis. This training enables him or her to carry out a full medical examination and to use information gained from the initial consultation not only for normal diagnostic purposes but also to asses your vitality and potential for better health.

You may consult a naturopath without a referral from a medical practitioner, although it is preferable that your doctor should know that you are seeking such advice.

THINKING ABOUT A TUMMY TUCK ?

Abdominoplasty, the medical term for what is commonly called a "tummy tuck," involves surgically removing excess skin and fat from the middle and lower part of the abdomen and sometimes tightening the abdominal muscles. The result is a flatter abdomen, and sometimes, a smaller waist, because the procedure corrects loose, sagging skin and excess fat. Any scars are usually located below the line of a swimsuit or underwear. A person's type of skin, overall health, weight and age can affect the outcome. Both men and women get tummy tucks. The procedure is especially useful for women whose skin has stretched after more than one pregnancy. For people whose fat deposits are just on the lower part of the abdomen, a partial abdominoplasty or mini-tummy tuck may be an option. Why Is It Needed? Skin has a limit to which it can stretch and still return to normal. When it stretches beyond that point, due to pregnancy or a large weight gain followed by weigh
