Emphasis has been
placed on creating a warm, restful, peaceful and positive environment
to help you get the most out of your life, in an increasingly busy and
stressful world. From Yoga to Acupuncture, Homoeopathy to Pilates,
Holistic Weight Loss to Shiatsu, Natural Beauty Therapies to
Counselling - and many more - we offer an exceptionally wide range of
treatment options under one roof.
Many
of our therapists are highly experienced at treating long-term health
challenges which are often difficult to tackle conventionally. But at
the same time, at The Wellington Natural Health Centre, we believe in
positive health: helping you to create a balanced life and a healthy
body, to help prevent health problems before they start, through good
diet, posture, exercise, rest and emotional equilibrium.

Naturopathy is viewed with skepticism for its reliance on or association with unproven, disproven, and controversial alternative medical treatments, and for its vitalistic underpinnings.As with any alternative care, there is a risk of misdiagnosis; this risk may be lower depending on level of training.There is also a risk that ailments that cannot be diagnosed by naturopaths will go untreated while a patient attempts treatment programs designed by their naturopath.

According to Arnold S. Relman, the Textbook of Natural Medicine is inadequate as a teaching tool, as it omits to mention or treat in detail many common ailments, improperly emphasizes treatments "not likely to be effective" over those that are, and promotes unproven herbal remedies at the expense of pharamceuticals. He concludes that "the risks to many sick patients seeking care from the average naturopathic practitioner would far outweigh any possible benefits.
"Central Council for Research in Naturopathy & Yoga": The Government of India after having recognized the need for systematic Research and Development of Yoga & Naturopathy in the country, established the “Central Council for Research in Ayurveda, Yoga & Naturopathy, Unani, Siddha and Homoeopathy” in 1969 as an autonomous organization under the Ministry of Health and Family Welfare.
This organization, first of its kind was established in India by the Central Government to conduct Scientific Research in Ayurveda, Siddha, Unani and Yoga, existed upto 1978. During this period, the development of Naturopathy was looked after by the Ministry of Health & Family Welfare directly. Later, in March 1978, this composite Council was dissolved to pave way for the formation of four independent Research Councils, one each for Ayurveda and Siddha, Unani, Homoeopathy and Yoga & Naturopathy.
