Do I need a GP referral to see a naturopath in Perth?

No. You can book directly with Cura Medicine — no referral needed.

Can a naturopath help with long covid?

Many people with ongoing post-covid symptoms, such as fatigue, brain fog and breathlessness, find naturopathic support helpful alongside their medical care. Treatment usually focuses on immune regulation, mitochondrial support and gut health.

What's the difference between a naturopath and a functional medicine practitioner?

There's a lot of overlap. Both look for the root cause of symptoms rather than just managing them. Functional medicine leans more heavily on advanced laboratory testing to guide treatment, which is incorporated into naturopathic consultations at Cura Medicine.

Do you offer telehealth if I'm outside Perth?

Yes. Cura Medicine sees clients across Western Australia and the rest of Australia via telehealth, with the herbal dispensary posting directly to you.

Autoimmunity

Every plan is personalised to your specific diagnosis and history.

Functional Medicine

Functional medicine (sometimes called integrative medicine) combines multiple approaches into one personalised health plan — targeted testing, herbal medicine, nutrition and lifestyle changes, all guided by evidence. Rather than treating symptoms in isolation, functional testing helps identify what’s actually driving your health issues, so treatment addresses the cause.
