It is a health care system which uses safe, gentle, non-invasive therapies including clinical nutrition, botanical medicine, homeopathy, acupuncture, hydrotherapy, naturopathic manipulation and lifestyle counselling, to assist the whole person in maximising the body's inherent self-healing capacity. Two or more of these treatment methods are generally used either at the same time or sequentially, for the synergistic effect this has on health improvement.more...See more text
I have loved receiving Dr Penny Seth-Smith's naturopathic care for the last 24 years. She is extremely skilled and generous, highly-intelligent and helpful to her numerous clients - many of whom naturally sing her praises for years. She has helped me especially homeopathically, and she is very knowledgable and experienced in numerous aspects of naturopathic medicine. I highly recommend her services to others and will continue to seek her out when I have need for support. Great work Dr Penny
