Question 1

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

Accepted Answer

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

Question 2

Can a naturopath help with long covid?

Accepted Answer

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.

Question 3

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

Accepted Answer

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.

Question 4

Do you offer telehealth if I'm outside Perth?

Accepted Answer

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