What is Naturopathy?

Naturopathy (otherwise known as 'Nature Cure') dates back to the 'father of medicine' himself - Hippocrates of ancient Greece. Naturopathic physicians work to restore and support the body's ownhealing abilities using a variety of modalities including nutrition, herbal medicine, homeopathic medicine, and orient medicine. A primary health-care system emphasizes the curative power of nature, treating both acute and chronic illnesses in all age groups.

There are four basic principles in Naturopathic medicine: * Every patient is unique * Everybody has the power to heal himself * To overcome any disease (disease) we must treat the causes not just the symptoms * The whole of a person must be treated NOT just a part.
