Frequently Asked Questions about Naturopathy
If you've never seen a Naturopath before, you probably have a lot of questions. Below is a list of common questions from my consultants. Do not hesitate to contact me if you would like more information.
Do you treat chronic diseases ?
My role is not to "treat" you but to agree with you on a support plan allowing you to become independent and actor of your health.
This work that we carry out in agreement with you, is focused in particular on the 3 major techniques of naturopathy (diet, physical exercise and psycho-emotional balance) allowing you to work on the cause of your ailments in connection with chronic illness. Naturopathy very often complements allopathic medicine.
What should I expect at the first session ?
During the 1st session, the duration of which varies from 1h30 to 2h, we will take stock of the operation:
- of all your systems: digestive, respiratory, cardiac, urinary and nerveux)
- your emunctories (waste elimination organs): lungs, liver, intestines, kidneys, skin.
The psycho-emotional sphere will also be explored and an examination of your irises (iridology check-up) as well as a palpatory check-up may be carried out.

Take all the elements that may be used to complete my analysis and help with naturopathic advice : last blood test, current treatment prescription, x-ray, etc...
Points of attention
Naturopathy does not replace conventional medicine.
It comes in addition to this one, by seeking to act on the cause(s) of your ailments, by working on your land, by taking in overall charge.
The Naturopath does not make any diagnosis and does not prescribe any treatment.
Only a competent doctor is authorized to do so.
