Naturopathic Consultation
Consists of the completion of a comprehensive health questionnaire which covers medical history, supplements taken, medications prescribed from GP, nature of presenting problem e.g. pain, tiredness. A complete dietary record is taken for a typical day, including amount of water, snack foods, coffee, tea, alcohol and other drugs. We then discuss your preferred outcome from the visit and prioritise treatment. A computer image of your eyes will be taken, with observations discussed. If attending for a pain issue, iridology will be replaced with the most appropriate form of physical treatment from the list below. At the end of the consultation, a range of supplement or herbal remedies will be discussed with the option of purchasing any considered appropriate to help with your general well being. The supplements are "practitioner only" and are restricted for use by health care professionals. Once the initial appointment has been completed, supplements are available for purchase over the counter between follow up consultations i.e. an appointment is not necessary every time a repeat is required, however, cases will require review within a reasonable time frame to ensure that the supplement supplied is the best option for long term use. As a general rule, a follow up appointment is booked for 2 weeks following the initial, to ensure that you are starting to feel better and to review supplements. If Bowen Therapy has been chosen, three visits will be booked, one week apart, followed by a complete review. Most clients feel significantly better, or at least better within themselves within 3 - 4 appointments. 
Iridology
Iridology is the science of studying the iris (the coloured section of your eye). A Naturopath will make observations based on the position, colour and dimensions of marks in the iris fibres. Iridology is an excellent diagnostic tool; however, will never replace a detailed medical history, physical examination and confirmation of conditions through laboratory testing.
Nutritional supplements
Nutritional supplements have become a very common and successful tool in natural medicine. After decades of farming practices which deplete the soil, many of our foods no longer contain sufficient levels of essential vitamins and minerals. TNC utilizes the latest "practitioner only" nutritional supplements, which combine herbs, vitamins, minerals and probiotics in an individualized prescription for health enhancement.
Herbal Medicine
Herbal Medicine is one of the oldest forms of medicine. Its origins date back thousands of years and herbal remedies have been used in all major cultures. Most modern drugs have their origins in herbal medicines, although only herbal medicine maintains the balance between the active principal in a plant and the other substances which are usually removed in the process of drug manufacture.
A herbalist will mix a very specific personal preparation designed to assist with a variety of conditions. 
Acupuncture
Acupuncture is an ancient Chinese system of medicine involving the stimulation of specific points on the body to enhance the flow of vital energy (chi) along pathways called meridians. Modern research has discovered that the points are active and that acupuncture stimulates the following reactions in patients:
- Change of brain waves to Alpha (relaxed state);
- Increase in endorphins (body's own natural pain killers);
- Increase in the white blood cell count (which helps to fight infection).
Acupuncture is relatively painless and can be very effective in pain relief, the alleviation of other symptoms and retaining balance in body functions.
In Western Australia there are two main methods of acupuncture: -
Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) acupuncture - which utilises a complex system of balancing points with the aim of bringing "chi" flow into balance, and
Western Clinical Acupuncture, which uses known acupuncture points in a manner aimed to relieve the cause and symptoms - without primarily focusing on TCM diagnostic signs. (Some practitioners will apply a combination of both.) A TCM practitioner will examine multiple pulse points in both wrists, along with tongue coatings and colours. They will then apply techniques associated with those signs. A Western Clinical practitioner will identify signs and symptoms of the pain or condition, then use acupuncture points known to help the condition. Often, TCM practitioners in Australia are degree qualified people who specialise primarily in acupuncture and the use of traditional Chinese herbs, moxibustion - applying heat to needles and points, and cupping - the use of suction cups over acupuncture points. Western Clinical Acupuncture is usually utilised in practice by GP's, naturopaths, physiotherapists and other practitioners - for whom acupuncture is a complementary treatment to their main therapeutic approach. These practitioners usually have a post graduate acupuncture qualification rather than a degree. Both TCM and Western Clinical practitioners may use acupuncture as a stand alone approach, or a combination of acupuncture and other remedies.
Bowen Therapy
Bowen Therapy is a revolutionary Australian muscle and connective tissue treatment that is so successful that it is gaining worldwide attention. Developed in Victoria by the late Mr Tom Bowen, it consists of a series of cross fibre muscle movements in specific areas of the body. Movements are gentle, and may be applied through light clothing. They are designed to stretch muscle fibres in a way that encourages relaxation, increases blood flow and release metabolic toxins.
Most people notice a difference in their symptoms after their first treatment, and may feel significantly better within three sessions. Each session lasts an average of half an hour, and is repeated once a week for three weeks. A full reassessment is made at that time, and visits are extended to fortnightly, or a month as required.
After the initial three Bowen treatments, many clients have found that they recover more quickly from muscle injuries, and that their flexibility is significantly improved. 
Biomesotherapy
Biomesotherapy, involves the use of specialised homoeopathic remedies and injections of saline under the skin over acupuncture points or painful areas. The German technique (a branch of Homotoxicology) is based on neural therapy, and has been used in Europe for over 30 years - with huge success, particularly for serious joint and muscle pain
Dorn Spinal Therapy
Dorn Spinal Therapy, originated in Germany over 30 years ago. The technique involves a complete spinal assessment, including a leg length comparison. Precise pressure is then applied to any painful vertebrae, and the client's own arm or leg movements help to move the spinal structure into a more comfortable position. Exercises to maintain leg length and relieve spinal tension are then given. Whilst there are only a few qualified practitioners in Western Australia, this technique is becoming more popular, and is sure to be in high demand as more people become aware of its benefits.
Homeopathy
Homeopathy uses a very precise system of medicine, where a minute dose of a substance is made potent by a special dilution process, so that the medicine is low in concentration but high in energy. Whilst still controversial to some medical practitioners, it is completely safe for everyone, including children and infants.
