Naturopathy

Naturopathy is a system of care which encompasses a set of principles and philosophies. Naturopathy looks at the health of a person in general, it does not treat disease or symptoms of disease but the individual and the causes of the disease. It looks at the balance between structural, nutritional, mind component and how well they interact rather than specific problems. Thereby helping to improve the health but more importantly helps to maintain it.

It is a way of life rather than a simple set of techniques and tools. Helping the patient to become responsible for their own health, by placing the patient in charge rather than providing them with an external solution.

Fasting, diet, exercise, relaxation, positive thinking, perscription of fruit and vegetable juices, herbs, vitamin and mineral supplements and homepathy are all techniques used in naturopathy.
