Dr. Leon Strauss, George

I have been in full-time practice for over 15 years and relocated from Johannesburg to George, 3 years ago. I do still consult with patients in Johannesburg every three months, and you are welcome to phone our office and speak my receptionist, Annatjie, and we will make certain that we keep you informed of my next scheduled trip to Johannesburg. I run a clinical and integrative Homoeopathic practice addressing illness in the whole family. I offer natural treatment options for acute and chronic medical conditions with a special interest in mood disorders (such as anxiety and depression), learning disabilities, allergy and auto-immunity and chronic, recurring infections.

The absence of microbes does not mean the absence of ill health. Bacteria, viruses and Fungi are often just the trigger to ill health, and if your immune system is not functioning optimally they will cause more damage in acute infections as well as moving towards chronic, recurring infections. Wellness is defined by the World Health Organisation as ‘an active process of becoming aware of and making choices toward a healthy and fulfilling life. A state of complete physical, mental, and social well-being, and not merely the absence of disease or infirmity’.

My practice has grown and adapted in relation to my experience in treating a wide variety of conditions. I completed my dissertation on Attention Deficit Disorder in children, and have a special interest in this field, treating related disorders in all age groups. My on-going research and clinical experience in this field has led me to place particular interest on mental and emotional health and have a unique, consultation based approach to identifying areas of need in my patients. With the help of amino-acid precursors, herbs and supplements I can help to restore a balanced neurotransmitter environment. Emotional health is closely intertwined with physical health, if you do not view yourself as healthy, health is not a reality!
