Get to Know Nineveh, The World’s First Holistic Barefoot Naturopath

Nineveh (Nin) has been practicing for over 10 years, using complementary natural remedies, such as herbs, homeopathics, celloids, nutritional medicine as well as food as medicine and lifestyle advice to support healing, to get you back on your feet faster and to help maintain good health for longer.

Nin has a basic yet effective approach, reducing the need for synthetic medicine, to restore and maintain wellbeing. This approach comes from her 5 basic pillars of wellbeing: first and foremost a healthy mind, then clean water, clean air, good nutrition, and earthing/movement. The first on the list is a healthy mind because without this foundation, we are really only treating a symptom and band-aiding the problem, which will reappear somewhere else in our life and keep us dependent and coming back for help. Nineveh expects everyone who sees her to get back on their feet, taking charge of their own wellbeing, understanding how to maintain their own health, within 3 months. She usually calls this her 100 day challenge.

Nineveh therefore helps us to tap into our full potential, where our wellbeing is waiting for us. She does this by focussing only on techniques that attract and align us with the positive results we are seeking. These techniques are based on traditional evidence. Her approach may therefore support and boost any imbalance, from:

• Headaches/Migraines
• Low Energy
• Insomnia
• Digestive Complaints (IBS & Leaky Gut)
• Immune Issues
• Degenerative problems like arthritis and cancer.
• Sports Performance

Nineveh uses mainly herbal medicine and nutrigenomic medicine, and recommends complimentary modalities, to restore balance. Nineveh’s remedies are safe and effective and can be used alongside most prescription medication.

So, if you are ready to examine your attitude and thinking, not just your diet and lifestyle, and open to the idea that anything is possible to a mind organised in positive thinking, then Nineveh is for you.

Nineveh takes a collaborative approach in her treatment protocols, empowering you to take control with an achievable plan.  Her interests include stress and anxiety and the link between these and gut health, hormones, the musculoskeletal system, and optimal sports performance and recovery, with a focus on diet and lifestyle, and quality medicines.

What is Naturopathy?

Naturopathy is a system of healing that provides holistic or whole body healthcare by drawing on treatment methods from several traditional systems of healthcare, such as nutritional medicine, herbal medicine, and homeopathy. Some naturopaths are trained in counselling skills. Naturopathy seeks to use the natural healing powers of the body to cure itself. It focusses on treating the cause rather than just symptoms of an illness.

How do naturopaths assess and treat people?

Naturopaths see the symptoms of a disease as the body’s defence mechanism attempting to move the person back to a state of health. A naturopath will work with this process rather than suppress symptoms, like fever or diarrhoea.

A naturopath will ask about your symptoms, lifestyle and diet, and your medical history.

A naturopath will design a treatment plan to support your body’s attempts to heal itself. They may at first advise on how to remove the underlying causes of stress in the body. This could involve recommending dietary changes, and encouraging ways of achieving a deeper level of relaxation.

The naturopath may then suggest ways to nourish and cleanse the body, by suggesting dietary changes that might involve avoiding certain foods, eating certain foods, and taking nutritional medicines. Often, the naturopath will recommend a diet high in fresh, raw fruits, vegetables, wholegrains, seeds and nuts, and preparing food in certain ways.

The naturopath may also be concerned with ridding the body of ‘accumulated toxins’ or ‘detoxification’.

Safety of Naturopathy

Relying solely on naturopathic treatments and avoiding conventional medical care is a choice. However you do not need to choose one or the other as they complement each other very well. If you need to take natural medicine the naturopath will advise if there are any interactions with your conventional medicines so you can be assured that your natural treatment is working alongside your conventional medicine to help you heal.

Effectiveness of Naturopathy

The effectiveness of natural therapies is revealed in the numbers. Australians are continuing to turn to natural therapies for their preventative health and wellbeing management with research revealing over 70% of the population having used at least one complementary medicine in the last 12 months.
