Children's Naturopathy
If you can change the health of a child, you can potentially change the course of an entire lifetime.
You can also relieve some of the stressors placed on parents and carers of our children. We can offer special dietary advice and naturopathic guidance for a variety of complaints that are relevant from birth right through to the later teen years.
Our treatment methods are as non invasive as possible, and where relevant we can employ Functional Medicine Testing, using samples such as hair, urine, saliva and stool. All of the testing we do is scientifically proven and evidence based. We believe in accuracy when dealing with our precious children.
If in doubt, take it back to the way Nature intended!
Functional Testing
Non Invasive testing options
Here at Natural Body Lab you have the option of a wide array of Functional Pathology tests as part of your Naturopathic journey.
They can be offered as an option to speed up treatment plans, but are always used in conjunction with full case history and thorough understanding of the person and relevant factors. It is important that the results are interpreted correctly, and a case history is taken into consideration when forming a treatment plan.
Testing is simple, even during Virtual Consultations. A referral and test kit can be sent out to you. All pathology samples can be collected in your home, except for blood, which is done at your local Melbourne Pathology lab, or another pre-arranged one.
