Natropath

[Ellibam]

im going to see a natropath for the first time tomorrow for an overall health check
but what kind of things is she likely to do??
any thing i should ask her?

i know when your seeing a homeopath you have a constitution done is that the same with a natropath?
thanks for the help

I don't know!

I only learned yesterday that a Natropath is a natural doctor and not the name of a scary monster under the bed

She may:

Look at your tongue
Look at your eyes (iridology)
Get you to drink a bit of this zinc-liquid to see if you're deficient (if you are, it will taste metallic then like water, as the body absorbs it via the mouth; if not it stays metallic)

Ask you about fun things like bowel movements

Talk about your diet and exercise...

That's all i can think of for now.

But do be aware that they sometimes like to prescribe a LOT of herbs, supplements etc and they can cost a LOT (see my recent acupuncture post!).

Hope that helps!
