As a qualified naturopath (Dip Naturopathy), I can offer you nutrition and lifestyle advice to support your acupuncture treatment. I have a special interest in Bach flower remedies and find these a wonderful support to many people.

The term naturopathy includes a number of different treatments that all work toward the same goal - supporting the body’s natural ability to self-heal.  Therapies include nutrition, exercise, counselling, body work, life-style advice, hydrotherapy, herbal medicine, homeopathy and the use of Bach flowers.

Bach flower remedies

Dr Edward Bach was a renowned bacteriologist, physician and homeopath.  In the 1920’s and 30’s Dr Bach became more and more interested in the emotional causes of disease. He began searching for ways to energetically connect with the emotional state, believing that healing on an emotional level would have effects on other levels - allowing the body to find its own natural state of health.  He came up with 38 remedies based mainly on flower essences. 

Each remedy is associated with a human emotion or emotional state. The essences can be used on their own or in combinations. The most well-known is Rescue Remedy which is a pre-made combination of 5 of the Bach remedies.

Bach remedies are safe, natural and have no adverse side effects. They work well in conjunction with other therapies such as acupuncture.  As a qualified naturopath, I often recommend Bach Flowers as part of a treatment protocol.
