With an increased caution towards prescribed pharmaceuticals, Naturopaths which include Sue Davis from the Lifehouse Spa & Hotel have witnessed an upsurge in sophisticated spa-goers seeking alternative health promoting treatments.
Naturopathy which mixes nature with modern science embraces a wide range of non-invasive techniques and therapies, is growing in popularity as complaints similar to digestive issues can also be quickly and efficiently healed using its techniques.
The Lifehouse Spa & Hotel is the sole hotel to have a Resident Naturopath – Sue Davis spent a few years treating elite clientele at wellness resort ‘Chiva-Som’ in Thailand, before returning to the united kingdom where a 60 minute consultation together with her costs £65.
Offering guests the chance to debate symptoms that they’ve been unable to handle all alone or with the aid of other medical practitioners, Sue specializes in holistic prevention together with a comprehensive analysis of a person’s diet and lifestyle. Treatment generally comprises dietary correction, the theorem of ‘food as medicine’, herbs, flower essences, nutritional supplements, detoxification and exercise.
In a consultation Sue will compile an assessment, including details of medicines, supplements, family history, digestive health, cardiovascular issues, bones and joints, stress levels, emotional issues, exercise patterns and dietary habits. This helps to choose a root cause instead of simply targeting symptoms. An example of a standard condition successfully treated by Naturopathy is digestive health issues together with IBS, which responds particularly well to naturopathic intervention. Sue advises on practical how one can reduce stress levels including relaxing abdominal breathing techniques and addresses inflammation of the digestive tract is thru ‘healing and sealing’ of the digestive tract with soothing demulcent herbs akin to Slippery Elm and Aloe Vera.
Sue Davis explains further “Naturopathy is quite empowering as much emphasis is put on education in order that guests have the tools to take control in their health. Once someone understands that health doesn’t just happen accidentally and that this is a life-long process that involves a transparent understanding of the standards that affect their health then they’re in a far stronger position to gain long time health and vitality.”
Set in 12 acres of English heritage gardens in Thorpe-le-Stoken, Lifehouse Spa & Hotel focuses on the art of wellbeing and is the best backdrop to mix a consultation and stay, offering a latest, award-winning spa experience in a calming environment.
