Naturopathy may be viewed as the treatment of illness using natural methods. This can include diet and lifestyle adjustment and the use of specific safe natural remedies including some homeopathic, herbal or nutritional preparations. In all cases the naturopathic philosophy is one of assisting the body to heal itself by creating the best possible internal environment to encourage the self-healing process to proceed as unimpeded as possible. Hadley Wood Healthcare can offer the services of our naturopaths for most health problems and our nutritionist for those seeking specialised and in-depth dietary analysis and advice.

Specialist food intolerance testing
Food intolerance is not usually life-threatening but can cause unpleasant symptoms. The symptoms of food intolerance can be delayed for many hours or even days and for this reason it is often hard to identify the problem foods.

Some symptoms of intolerances may be caused by an enzyme deficiency or chemical sensitivity, while others involve an immune response associated with raised levels of antibodies to the food concerned. Over time, immune complexes can become deposited in joints and other organs. If symptoms are related to this type of immune response, the detection of food specific IgG antibodies can be helpful.

Click here for more details on how to get tested for 59 different food intolerances from one small finger prick sample of blood. We can mail you a blood collection kit in the post and test your blood in our clinic. Results can be emailed or posted.
