Nutritional Therapy is based on the principle that when given the optimal nutrients (through individually tailored programs based on wholesome foods and with the use of supplements, as needed) and with adequate rest and hydration, the body by its nature, re-balances and heals itself.
This is not a new concept but scientific research and information that is widely available confirms what individual nutrients and foods, used therapeutically, do to the health of specific organs, body systems and hormones.
As defined by the British Association for Nutritionl Therapy - ‘Nutritional therapy encompasses the use of carefully compiled individual prescriptions for diet and lifestyle in order to alleviate or prevent ailments and promote optimal health. These recommendations may include guidance on natural detoxification, procedures to promote colon health, methods to support digestion and absorption, the avoidance of ingestion or inhalation of toxins or allergens and the appropriate use of supplementary nutrients’.
