Naturopathic concepts being confirmed by science

• Naturopaths have long understood there is a very strong brain-gut connection. Science is now demonstrating the majority of the body’s serotonin (an important mood-related hormone) is produced and utilised in the gut.

• Naturopaths have long understood that acid reflux and heart burn can be associated, in a significant number of cases, with insufficient stomach acid (as back to front as this may seem initially). This is being confirmed by recent scientific research.
