Diagnostics

There are many different diagnostic tools available for Naturopathic health care.

Some of these include iridology, tongue & facial analysis, skin & nail analysis and a wide range of pathology testing.  Using a range of diagnostics allows us to look at each case from a variety of angles and provides a holistic mode of health care.

      Tongue analysis gives us an overview of the health of digestive organs. This form of diagnosis is particularly useful as tongue signs can change rapidly and are great for monitoring health from visit to visit.

     Iridology offers a non-invasive look at the patient’s iris to determine systemic function & vitality. Iridology is done by charting various iris colours and markings by looking into the eye using a high powered digital magnifying camera, displaying an image of Iris on the screen for you to see – the biggest challenge is getting your child to sit still long enough

      Facial and skin analysis can provide clues to a person’s current nutritional status. Dark circles, pale areas, puffiness and general colour can be analysed and recorded easily in even the wriggliest of children!

      Nail analysis provides a long-term look at mineral status. Ridges, bends, colours and spots all reveal various nutrient deficiencies

      Various Independent pathology laboratories provide extensive testing for practitioners of complementary medicine. Testing of this sort gives us a scientific advantage when searching for answers that have not been available elsewhere. These types of pathology tests are not necessary for every patient but they are available if required.
