Thrive Therapies Nelson is a naturopath at 128 Hardy St, Maitai, Nelson, with a Google rating of 5.0.
A naturopath takes a whole-person approach, looking at diet, lifestyle, sleep, stress and symptoms, and may suggest changes to food, supplements or herbal medicines. A first visit is usually longer than a usual health appointment, with detailed questions about your history, medications and what you want to achieve. Naturopathy is a complementary practice, so it is best used alongside, not instead of, care from your doctor, and you should tell both about everything you take, since herbs and supplements can interact with prescription medicines. Ask about the practitioner's training and professional membership, what a plan involves, how long it will take and whether any tests are suggested. See a doctor first for new, severe or worsening symptoms. Regulars keep a food and symptom diary to help follow-ups.
