Balancing the Conventional with the Unconventional

At Unicare Pharmacy, we recognise the importance of unconventional medicine and believe that conventional treatment can be complemented with alternative therapies to maximise the process of healing. Hence we provide a range of alternative therapies including Homeopathy, Acupunture, Chiropody, Nutritional Consultancy and Naturopathy. Below, we have briefly tried to summarise the basic principles on which these complementary therapies operate.

Naturopathy

Naturopathy is a non-invasive system of treatment, which encourages the body's vital force to resist disease and promote healing through a wide range of modalities. Techniques used are often compatible with the vital curative activity of the body, such as air, water, sunlight, relaxation, exercise and dietary therapy. Many other techniques are used as well, for example; acupuncture, homeopathy, herbalism, energy medicine, bodywork, counselling and osteopathy to name a few. These modalities vary from practitioner to practitioner and depending on the country of practice. Naturopaths use different forms of diagnosis, these include: skin, hair, nails and tongue analysis, iridology, kinesiology, urinalysis, as well as other forms of non-invasive testing (depending on the practitioner).

There are four main principles that every Naturopath abides to:

Every human is an individual and is therefore treated as one
The cause of the condition is established and then treated, not simply the symptom
Each individual possesses the inherent power to heal themselves
The person is treated as a whole, including the physical, biochemical, emotional and spiritual, not just the affected part of the body.
