The Holistic Approach

Humans are all recognisably different individuals, so it should not be surprising that our response to food, supplements, drugs and environmental toxins is very individual too.  In nutritional medicine, the biochemical individuality of each patient is a fundamental consideration.

The holistic approach is vital for many health problems where symptoms affect more than one organ or system.  For example, food allergies, now believed to affect around one in five adults, can manifest  in a surprising number of ways- as gastric and digestive problems, joint and muscle pain,  depression, insomnia, mental fuzziness and poor concentration,  itchy skin or hives,  chronic ear infections and many other unpleasant symptoms.   Whatever your problem, The Olive Tree Clinic will investigate all symptoms, search for the root cause and design a personal treatment programme  uniquely for you.
