Naturopathy may also be used to treat conditions for which conventional medicine has little to offer. These include: Fatigue, adrenal exhaustion, Irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) or digestive problems, food intolerances, depression, feeling 'spaced' or 'wooly headed, feeling 'unwell', poor memory, poor concentration, blood sugar problems, sugar craving, reduced resistance to infection, ongoing infection that is slow to heal, hormonal imbalances, sleep problems, bloating, recurrent yeast infections, headaches, feeling 'under-par', disease prevention.

In addition, naturopathic medicine is well suited to helping you manage the sometimes uncomfortable side effects of medical treatments for many chronic conditions. This is done with careful research to ensure that naturopathic treatments not only do not interfere with your medical treatment, but serve to complement it.
