What is Naturopathy?
A Natural, Holistic Approach to Long-Lasting Health
Naturopathy—also known as Natural Medicine—is a comprehensive system of healthcare that combines modern science with traditional healing wisdom. It uses non-toxic, natural therapies such as herbal medicine, nutritional supplements, and dietary and lifestyle guidance to support the body’s innate ability to heal.
At Bayshore Naturopathic Clinic, we take a holistic approach to health. That means we look at the whole person—not just isolated symptoms—to uncover and address the underlying cause of illness. By restoring balance to the body, we promote long-lasting health outcomes that go far beyond symptom relief.
Herbal Medicine: The Original Medicine
Did you know that many of today’s pharmaceutical drugs are based on compounds originally found in herbs?
For centuries—long before modern laboratories—herbal medicine was the primary form of healing across the globe. Plants like willow bark (aspirin), foxglove (digoxin), and St John’s Wort have been used effectively to support everything from pain relief to heart health and mood balance.
Today, modern science is catching up. Clinical studies and scientific trials continue to confirm what traditional cultures have long known: herbs are powerful, effective, and often safer alternatives to many synthetic drugs.
At Bayshore, we use evidence-based herbal medicine, carefully selected and prescribed to suit your individual health needs. We only recommend the highest quality practitioner-grade products to ensure safety, purity, and optimal results.
Personalised Naturopathic Care
Your body is unique—and your treatment should be too.
We don’t believe in one-size-fits-all solutions. During your consultation, we take a detailed health history, assess your current symptoms, and if appropriate, use functional medicine testing and conventional pathology testing to uncover what’s really going on beneath the surface.
From there, we design a personalised wellness plan which may include:
-
Herbal Medicine
-
Nutritional Therapy and Targeted Supplementation
-
Individualised Dietary Recommendations
-
Lifestyle Strategies to Reduce Stress, Improve Sleep, and Boost Energy
-
Gut Health Support and Detoxification Plans
Our goal is to support your body, mind, and nervous system so that you can not only recover but thrive.
What Conditions Can Naturopathy Help With?
Naturopathy can support a wide range of chronic and acute health concerns, including:
-
Fatigue and burnout
-
Thyroid and hormonal imbalances
-
Digestive issues (IBS, bloating, reflux, gut dysbiosis)
-
Anxiety, depression and sleep problems
-
Autoimmune conditions
-
Skin conditions (acne, eczema, psoriasis)
-

-
Children’s health

Whether you’re looking for help with a specific diagnosis or just want to feel better in your body, naturopathy offers gentle, natural solutions that work with your body—not against it.
