Immunity
The immune system is the body’s built-in defence network, working continuously to protect you from harmful invaders such as bacteria, viruses, fungi and environmental toxins.
When the immune system is under active or suppressed, the body becomes more vulnerable to frequent infections, slower recovery times and ongoing fatigue. On the other hand, an overactive immune system can lead to chronic inflammation, allergies and autoimmune conditions, where the body mistakenly targets its own tissues.
At our clinic, we take a holistic and individualised approach to supporting immune health. Rather than just managing symptoms, we work to uncover and address the root causes of immune imbalance, whether it’s chronic stress, poor gut function, nutrient deficiencies, toxin exposure or various lifestyle factors.
Common signs of Poor Immunity:
Frequent infections or lingering colds
Low energy or persistent fatigue
Slow recovery from illness or injury
Digestive issues e.g bloating, diarrhoea or constipation
Skin conditions (e.g. rashes, eczema, fungal infections)
Recurring sore throats, sinus congestion or respiratory issues
Chronic inflammation or joint pain
Brain fog or difficulty concentrating
Frequent allergies or food sensitivities
Cold hands and feet
Unexplained weight changes
Mood swings, irritability or heightened stress response
How Naturopathy Can Help
Using nutrition, herbal medicine, lifestyle strategies and targeted supplements, naturopathic care works to gently support and regulate the immune system, whether it’s underactive, overactive or just out of balance. We focus on building long-term resilience, so your body can respond to challenges with strength and ease.
Integrative Testing Options
We may recommend integrative testing to better understand what may be impacting your immune function, such as gut microbiome imbalances, nutrient deficiencies or hidden infections. This allows us to create a treatment plan that’s more targeted, personalised, and aligned with your body’s unique needs.
