Mental Health Support
An holistic approach
How to navigate your mental health journey
Naturopathic medicine encompasses a holistic approach to mental health addressing anger, aggression, depression, anxiety, obsessive thoughts and focusing on treating the underlying causes of mental health conditions and promoting overall well-being.
There are, in fact, rational explanations for your mood. It is not a pharmacological deficiency, and there are likely other underlying causes that we may identify and treat with the appropriate functional medicine testing. It integrates various natural therapies, lifestyle modifications, and nutritional interventions to support mental health.
However, it’s important to note that naturopathic treatments should never be used as a substitute for conventional medical care, especially in cases of severe mental health conditions.
Discover how
Naturopathy can help
There are many naturopathic approaches that may be considered as complementary to conventional treatments.
Nutritional Support
A balanced diet rich in essential nutrients is crucial for mental health. Naturopathic practitioners may assess nutritional deficiencies and recommend specific dietary changes or supplements to support brain health. Omega-3 fatty acids, B vitamins, magnesium, and zinc are often recommended for their potential benefits.
Herbal Medicine
Certain herbal remedies have been traditionally used to support mental well-being. Herbs such as St. John’s Wort (for mild to moderate depression), passionflower (for anxiety and insomnia), and valerian (for sleep disorders) may be suggested. However, it’s important to consult with a qualified naturopathic doctor before using any herbal supplements, as they can interact with medications and have potential side effects.
Lifestyle Modifications
Naturopathic medicine emphasises lifestyle changes to promote mental health. Regular physical exercise, stress management techniques (such as meditation, yoga, or deep breathing exercises), adequate sleep, and a healthy work-life balance are essential components of a holistic approach.
Supplements and Nutraceuticals
In addition to a balanced diet, certain supplements and nutraceuticals may be suggested to support mental health. These may include vitamin D, 5-HTP, SAMe, and L-theanine. However, it’s important to consult with a qualified healthcare professional to determine the appropriate dosage and suitability for your specific needs.
Mind-Body Therapies
Naturopathic practitioners often recommend mind-body therapies to improve mental well-being.
