Naturopathy & Homeopathy
Gaby specialises in treating Irritable Bowel Syndrome and other digestive orders, improving your health & showing you ways to live wisely – providing the best soil for your true nature to shine.
What is Irritable Bowel Syndrome?
Irritable bowel syndrome, or IBS, is a functional disorder of the gastro-intestinal system. It is characterised by abdominal pain and altered bowel habits where there is no specific pathological finding.
The symptoms may include:
* Change in stool frequency, form and/or appearance
* Pain associated with more frequent and/or looser bowel movements
* Pain relieved by defecation
* Constipation and/or diarrhoea with straining and/or urgency
* Mucous in the stools
* Abdominal bloating, distension, gas and/or pain
What Can You Do To Treat IBS?
* Pay attention to your body – your bowels, digestive system, emotional state, sleep, etc – and try to pin point and avoid situations and foods that might trigger your IBS symptoms
* A fibre supplement may improve constipation and diarrhoea but start with a low dose to ensure it doesn’t exacerbate your bloating and distension
* Make sure you drink enough water if you predominantly experience constipation
* Avoid caffeine, alcohol and legumes
* Respect your bowels – make time to sit on the toilet for 5-10mins every morning even if you have no urge to defecate
* Book a consultation with Gaby for an individualised treatment program
What Does a Consultation Involve?
An initial consultation will last for about 1 hour and include:
* Detailed case taking of your present health concerns
* A review of your personal and family medical history
* Dietary and lifestyle assessment
* A review of associated body systems (e.g. digestive, immune, nervous systems, etc)
* Physical assessments including tongue, nails and relevant body systems
* Discussion of findings and formation of dietary and lifestyle plans
* Dispensing of individualised supplements where needed
Gaby specialises in classical homeopathy but has at her disposal the use of herbs, nutritional supplements, dietary and lifestyle advice, counselling and massage. She will treat you with the tools best suited to your health complaint and your lifestyle.
Gaby will work with you at a slow and steady pace to help make lasting changes that don’t seem too overwhelming or restricting.
