WHAT IS NATUROPATHY?
Naturopathy is a natural healing technique using the healing powers of nature. Sometimes referred to as “natural medicine,” naturopathy goes back thousands of years, drawing on the healing wisdom of many cultures. This includes Indian (Ayurvedic), Chinese (Taoist), Greek (Hippocratic), Arabian, Egyptian, and European (monastic medicine) traditions.
Hippocrates, a Greek physician who lived 2,400 years ago, is often considered the earliest predecessor of Naturopathic physicians. Particularly because of his teachings “Nature is the healer of all diseases” and his formulation of the concept Vis Medicatrix Naturae — “The Healing Power of Nature.”Naturopathy is guided by six fundamental principles:
The healing power of nature
First, do no harm
Find and treat the underlying cause and not just the symptom
Always treat the person as a whole, not only the disease
Education
Prevention
The philosophy of Naturopathic Medicine is that all living beings have an innate ability to heal themselves. Our vital force promotes self-cleansing, self-repair, and therefore, self-healing. This process can be achieved by focusing on the immune, hormonal, nervous, and detoxification/elimination systems of the body. Naturopathy supports the body’s natural self-healing abilities and helps it to restore balance.
Why choose Naturopathy?
There are many reasons to choose naturopathy:
If you have a chronic disease which is not responding to the treatments recommended by medical doctors.
If you are tired of taking drugs to maintain health for the rest of your life. Naturopathic treatments address the root cause instead of symptoms.
If you want a treatment that offers a holistic approach i.e. it considers all your symptoms and you as a whole, instead of just targeting the disease to be eliminated.
If you prefer natural cures to drug-based symptom treatment and want to avoid drug side effects (all drugs have side effects – even the safest approved drugs have side effects).
What Illnesses Can Naturopathy Treat?
There is a wide range of illnesses which Naturopathy treats either alone or in combination with other complementary treatments.
