About Our

Naturopathic advice right here at your local pharmacy in Hornby

Many people seeking conventional medical help for frustrating health conditions are left shaking their heads, thinking 'There has got to be another way!' - and there is. As part of our commitment to helping you achieve optimal health, Stay Well Pharmacy are proud to offer naturopathic advice to help you with your health concerns.

WHY VISIT A NATUROPATHIC PHARMACIST?

Conventional medicine often seeks to relieve only the symptoms of disease, without looking too deeply into the root cause. This can mean surgical intervention or long term use of pharmaceutical medicines, which have their own pitfalls of side effects and complications. Naturopathy and Functional medicine are complementary approaches to conventional medical treatment, and seeks to uncover and remedy the root causes of dysfunction in the body - reducing or eliminating reliance on prescription drugs and improving your vitality and quality of life.

Many chronic and seemingly incurable complaints can benefit from this kind of advice, including (but not limited to) fatigue, pain, anxiety, sleep disturbances and many digestive complaints.

WHAT'S DIFFERENT ABOUT INTEGRATIVE MEDICINE?

Integrative medicine brings together a diverse range of therapies in order to treat the 'whole person' rather than the troublesome symptom. Practitioners work in partnership with you to find the internal imbalances that manifest themselves in poor health, and prescribe safe, gentle, natural solutions to correct them and prevent future difficulties.

Treatment may include any combination of the following: diet and lifestyle advice, herbal medicines, nutritional supplementation, and referral to other alternative therapies. Stay Well Pharmacy offers you a truly holistic ('whole person') approach to health, with tailored advice that integrates safely with your pharmaceutical regime.
