Indication of Osteopathy & Naturopathy

Clusters of symptoms from the following areas are often treated at naturopathic clinics. Whilst the World Health Organisation (WHO) recommends traditional Chinese medicine (TCM, acupuncture, Chinese herbs, dietetics, moxibustion and cupping) for the treatment of the majority of illnesses, countless studies have proven the effectiveness of Western naturopathy (herbal medicine, autohaemotherapy, osteopathy and chiropractic).

Our practical experience has shown that combining indivdual naturopathic treatments can result in highly effective therapy.
