Clinical Nutrition

Occasionally, where your diet does not provide enough specific nutrients or where lifestyle factors deplete nutrients rapidly, supplementation can significantly improve your health and well being.

Strengthening your Health, Naturally uses and prescribes practitioner only products to ensure that you receive the best, more easily absorbed and most currently researched products.

Whilst many nutritional and herbal supplements are readily available in supermarkets, not all of these products are easily absorbed. These products may contain additives, colourings and fillers that may make them harder to digest and absorb. Practitioner only products do not contain these chemicals therefore are gentler on the digestive system. By taking Practitioner only products, you may notice results sooner!

Dietary Analysis

By assessing your diet, Candace can evaluate which nutrients you are lacking and therefore assess which nutrients may be contributing to your condition. Candace will then work together with you to determine which dietary suggestions are needed and achievable by you, to improve your health. Certain conditions (such as skin conditions) are made worse by certain foods, therefore by analysing your diet, we can determine which foods may be contributing to your condition.

Herbal Medicine

Herbal medicine has been used for thousands of years. Before the development of pharmaceutical preparations, all medicines were of herbal origin. Herbal medicine is still the major form of health care in most indigenous cultures.

Herbal medicine is the use of different plant and plant parts to help alleviate symptoms and address the cause of the disease. Once a diagnosis has been made, Candace may mix a liquid preparation of herbs for you while you wait. Thus ensuring that the medications you receive from Candace is what’s best for your condition.

Herbal medicine is continually being researched and proven scientifically for its benefits in many medically diagnosed conditions. It is considered a safer alternative of medicine and less harmful to the body. It may also be absorbed and digested easier than other medications. If prescribed properly by a herbalist/naturopath, herbal medicine has no side effects. Herbs are also safe to use in conjunction with all other medications, however some herbs can not be taken at the same time as pharmaceutical medications. If you are interested in taking herbal medicines, please call your Naturopath before you commence taking them.
