About Naturopathy

Naturopathy is a system of healthcare that emphasizes the body's ability to heal itself. Through changes in diet and lifestyle, with the help of vitamins, herbs and supplements, Naturopathy can aid in bringing the body back into balance naturally. Naturopaths seek to optimize the health of the whole body, including physical, emotional, spiritual, and environmental health, in order to address disease. It is based on six principles of healing:

Do no harm
Respect the healing power of nature
Treat the cause
Treat the whole person
Prevention
Doctor as teacher

Naturopathic therapies include:

Nutrition
Herbal Medicine
Vitamin and Supplement Therapy
Homeopathy
