Naturopathy

Naturopathic Principles

Naturopathy or naturopathic medicine is based on supporting and building a person’s vital energy or force.

Naturopathy takes a holistic approach to wellness and supports people in achieving and maintaining their health. It treats the whole person—their physical, emotional, mental, and spiritual well-being. The root causes of any illness are addressed, not just the symptoms.

Naturopathy's foundations

Naturopathy's foundations are a healthy diet, clean air, fresh water, sunlight, exercise, and stress management. Natural remedies help the body heal itself. It embraces many approaches, such as herbs, massage, relaxation and meditation techniques, exercises, hydrotherapy, flower remedies, nutritional advice, and the healing capacity of spending time in Nature.
