Where is the Science? Naturopathic medicine has just as much to offer as western medicine, just in a different way. And yes, there are more and more studies being done on naturopathic medicine. If you are curious to look further, then please look at the AMED database. Naturopathic treatment tends to often get a bad wrap, but it has been around for 100’s of years. In fact, herbal medicine was being used before current western medicine came about and it is still being used as the primary source of healthcare in many countries. Naturopathy is now of a university degree level. See http://www.scu.edu.au/schools/hahs/index.php/4/ How Does Treatment Differ From A Doctor’s Medicine? You may be asked to take some nutritional and herbal medicine. The herbs and nutrients that The Period Pain Guru uses are very different to the ones that you find on the shelf at your local health food store. At The Period Pain Guru, we use Practitioner- Only products to get you optimal results, quickly. Sometimes Lifestyle and Dietary Changes are recommended. Although it is not essential to make these changes, it will enhance your health outcomes. These changes can be negotiated with Andrea, so that they are ‘do-able’ for you. What’s the difference between a Doctor and a Naturopath? Naturopathic Care at The Period Pain Guru looks at treating the cause of your illness or imbalance. Herbal and Nutritional medicine differ from drugs because they bring the body back into balance. For example, if you are deficient in a particular nutrient, this can have an impact on how the way things work in your body, because your body relies on nutrients to do this. Can you remember being told that period pain and menstrual cramps are ‘normal’? It may have been your mum, doctor or a friend that has never had a cramp in her life. Despite what many women are told period pain and menstrual cramps often indicate a hormonal imbalance. You may have been told that the only solution for stopping menstrual cramps is to go on ‘The Pill’ or take pain -relief medication. These solutions can give you some relief, but don’t fix your hormone imbalance.
