5 Reasons To Choose Natural Health In 2019

5 reasons to choose natural healthBlog


Avatar for The Natural Doctor
01 May 2019 by Dr. Nyjon Eccles in Natural Health

Natural medicine is hardly a novel concept in Western society. One way or another, the science of extracting and using compounds, chemicals, enzymes and proteins that occur naturally in the body has been popular for decades.

Even so, this approach to health and wellness is today one of the fastest-growing global industries. In the UK alone, the sector was worth an estimated EUR 26 billion (£23 billion) in 2018 – an increase of EUR 4 billion on its value just 5 years earlier.

There are many reasons why we’re seeing this upward trend, but chief among them are either the fact that more people are now acutely interested in treating the root causes of the conditions they live with, rather than the symptoms or they are discontent with the ineffectiveness and side effects with pharmaceutical medicines.

And for those who read that last paragraph and argue that conventional medicine also treats the root cause, there is an important and fundamental difference that separates clinical treatment from natural treatment.

Broadly speaking – and accepting there are exceptions that can be argued to prove the rule – the curative power of clinical healthcare is primarily a by-product of the treatment administered rather than its intention.

What do I mean by that? Well, let’s use a simple example to illustrate it.

If you go to see your GP with lower back pain, the chances are you’ll come away with a prescription for anti-inflammatory drugs. Now, back pain can be caused by many things – for example, bad posture, a trapped nerve, a calcified disc pressing on a nerve, poor gait etc. – and it is a symptom of one and possibly more of these conditions.

The anti-inflammatory medication your GP has given you will, in all likelihood, ease the pain you’re experiencing because that is the intended benefit of the treatment. It may also treat the root cause by, for example, allowing the body to come out of spasm, freeing a nerve – but that isn’t necessarily the primary reason for prescribing the treatment.

By contrast, natural medicine largely focuses on the causative factors of the problem, and it does that by supplementing the body’s natural biology on a like-for-like basis and by using non-invasive processes and equipment to monitor ongoing health either in a specific area of the body or, in some cases, more generally.

When we think about natural medicine, it’s worth also considering the fact that our bodies were originally designed to be self-protecting. Modern life and resistance to some conditions have changed that landscape– but nevertheless, taking a more holistic approach to your health and wellbeing makes logical sense.

Here are our top 5 tips for why you should consider taking a more natural approach to your health.

1. It prevents as well as cures

 Yes, we’ve already said it, but it’s worth repeating. Natural medicine, if used well, generally promotes treatment through formulas which replicate what the body produces naturally – strengthening natural defences against many conditions. In this way, potential problems are either prevented from developing in the first place or, through complementary health monitoring, identified early to give the best possible chance of reversing abnormal health trends without the need for clinical intervention.

2. There’s a decreased risk of experiencing side-effects

Read the label on many prescription drugs and you’ll see a list of potential side-effects to look out for – nausea and drowsiness are two of the more common ones, but others may include allergic reactions or swelling.

Because the ingredients in many natural products are merely replicas of chemicals your body produces on its own, there is much less chance it will react badly during treatment.

3. It’s flexible and can be geared to your condition

Clinical treatment is necessarily quite regimented. You go to see your doctor or consultant at a specific time. You’re given medication to take at a specific time, or you’re invited for treatment at a certain time. You’re recalled for a follow-up appointment to gauge progress.

To a greater or lesser extent, your treatment plan will follow a “one glove fits all” paradigm but which may be tweaked slightly depending on your need. By contrast, natural medicine is more flexible and your treatment will be geared to you as an individual.

4. It doesn’t just treat one issue

Increasingly, natural medicine is concerned with your overall health rather than simply one condition you happen to be experiencing that sent you to your doctor’s surgery.

At the Natural Doctor, for example we’re always keen to make sure we have a very good idea of our clients’ general health and wellbeing since we know that everything in the body is linked one way or another.

By choosing natural health, you’re also choosing better health overall.

5. You’re in control

Natural medicine gives you control of your health on your own terms. It means you get to choose when and how you monitor breast and heart health, how best to deal with the menopause, tackle issues like fertility and libido and hair loss and combat the signs of ageing.

If you’d like to change the game when it comes to your own health or someone else’s this year,  you can Contact us to find out more about the services we offer and book a consultation.

    I had some treatment for a breast condition in the clinic, people are very polite and nice including the doctors. I had to stop the treatment as It was not working but that's fair enough as no everything works for everybody. I stop going to the clinic and nobody in the clinic contacted me to find out what was going on, what happened with me. That showsed lack of care and I was disappointed about that.

    Been visiting this clinic for nearly 10 years. It reassures me about my breast health and if I raise any concerns they are always answered well. Staff are professional but friendly. Dr Eccles knows his field. Will keep returning for my check ups. Peace of mind is worth so much.

    A recent breast health scare in my 30's lead me to seek a less invasive option to check breast health. The Thermocheck scan, detailed report and Skype consultation with Dr Eccles was very professional and reassuring. I now feel more informed and supported in preparation for my hospital appointment. I highly recommend Dr Eccles and his team to provide an efficient, professional service and support your health naturally.

    Thank you for giving me the opportunity to use your excellent product. Although it has only been 2 weeks, both myself and my wife have noticed, the hair growth has certainly become thicker, more of a covering. This is very encouraging, following many years of not really being bothered about my hair loss, now that I am noticing an improvement I am very excited at the prospects of once again having a full head of hair.

    Dr Eccles has given me my life back, because he has balanced my hormones in a way that enables me to live my life to the full again!I was not only suffering with menopause fatigue and the many other symptoms of menopause, but I had ongoing lethargy with Auto-Immune Hashimotos and a struggling thyroid. It came to the point I didn’t know which symptom was due to which hormone deficiency.After my second thorough consultation with Dr Eccles, he had tweaked my dose and found I was indeed Iodine deficient. Now I am beginning to have normal levels of energy again and it is getting better and better, for the first time in five years! I sleep like a baby and my overactive bladder has been calmed. I am so glad I found Dr Eccles, life is too short to suffer with debilitating symptoms, he is the best doctor for me!

    The Dr helped me feel like myself again after lots of low level symptoms. My GP dismissed me. It was worth every penny. Thank you

    Highly recommend this practice. My experience so far after taking the thermogenic breast scan, and Bio identical hormone replacements has been a very pleasant and informative process.

    I began to see Dr Eccles six years ago and he continues to provide excellent care and attention every time I see him. I have referred several friends to him and they have all been very happy. Both Dr Eccles and his staff genuinely care and always go the extra mile. I highly recommend him for all areas of female health, immunity and healthy ageing in general!
