What is Naturopathy?

Naturopathy is the philosophy, art and science that combines the wisdom of nature with science. A naturopath focuses on the cause of disease to stimulate the body’s ability to self-heal by using natural techniques and therapies. There is emphasis on educating the person to understand their own health to prevent future illnesses and promote autonomy. Symptoms of disease are seen as signals of improper functioning of the body, and unfavourable lifestyle habits. Naturopathy involves physical, energetic, emotional, mental, spiritual, socio-cultural, and environmental factors.
