Naturopathy is a modality of the natural therapies which encompasses nutritional medicine, herbal medicine and homœopathy to treat the whole person, not just the disease symptoms. It embraces the healing power of nature. Naturopathy aims at restoring the vitality of the individual, as poor vitality is associated with low resistance and disease tendency.

At our naturopathy clinic in Balmain, Sydney’s Inner West, we provide comprehensive health solutions based on diet, herbal and nutritional medicines.
DIETS are individually designed for food allergies and sensitivities, gluten and dairy intolerance, candida, arthritis, diabetes, vegan, detox, weight loss, with menus and recipes. Diets are balanced for your metabolic type according to the principles of Ayurveda.
Our diet is fundamental to our health as our food nourishes us and supports and maintains all bodily functions. What we eat can keep us well or make us ill. Not only is our nutritional status vital for our physical wellbeing, it is also essential for our mental wellbeing. As well as having a nutritious diet, our digestive system needs to be working optimally so we can properly digest, metabolise, absorb and assimilate the nutrients, and also to eliminate waste products of digestion.
The first obstacle to digestion is an underactive stomach. Digestive enzymes in the stomach need to be activated by HCL secreted by the parietal cells in the stomach wall. Food allergies, iron deficiency and chronic candida can affect stomach acid production. Protein is digested in the stomach and requires an acid environment.
Bitter foods increase stomach acidity and aid digestion. Bitter receptors throughout the digestive tract releases the hormone CCK which releases pancreatic enzymes to digest carbohydrates and bile salts to digest the fats in the small intestine which requires an alkaline environment.
Intestinal permeability can predispose to candida infection and food allergies. While the stomach needs sufficient acidity for the digestive processes, the body’s cellular environment needs to be alkaline. When digested, red meat, sugar, refined flour, alcohol and coffee oxidise to acid ash, whereas leafy greens are oxidised to alkaline ash. During illness, the body is exhibiting an acute acid state, and an alkaline reserve is necessary to neutralise this and aid recovery.
A plant-based diet provides the prebiotic fibres which feed our gut microbiome, and a balanced diversity of gut microflora keep us healthy and combats infection.
At View to Health, we have a remedy for your digestive problems.
Our naturopath, who is also a dietitian and nutritionist, will advise on which foods have anti-inflammatory effects and which foods aid digestion and reduce metabolic acidosis. A specially formulated digestive tonic and / or supplementation with digestive enzymes may be necessary to restore your digestive function.
You will be given a diet which will be practical, enjoyable and nutritionally balanced to suit your lifestyle with easy-to-follow recipes.
At View to Health, we provide natural treatments for digestive disorders, fatigue, anxiety, hay fever, sinus congestion, skin conditions, hormonal imbalances and a range of other health issues.

Herbal medicine is a safe, traditional, effective treatment which harnesses the medicinal properties of plants to address many health problems. As well as relieving symptoms, herbal medicine helps restore normal functioning of the organs and body systems involved and so treats the cause of the illness. In addition, herbs have a tonifying effect on these organs.
The naturopath at View to Health in Sydney has a comprehensive dispensary of high quality, full-strength herbal extracts to give the most effective results. The herbal medicines prescribed at View to Health are scientifically validated, are specially formulated for the patient’s needs and will not interact with any prescribed medication you may be taking. Your own special herbal tonic will be made up for you during the consultation. Herbal tablets are also available.
To provide a more powerful healing effect, homeopathic medicines, tissue salts and specialised probiotics may sometimes be included. Homœopathy is a treatment method designed to help the body heal itself by activating the body’s own defence systems.
