What is Naturopathy?


Naturopathy is an ancient system of healing that aims to educate and empower individuals to be in full control of their own health and recovery, to use the planet’s specially-designed plant and natural medicine and to share healthy lifestyle suggestions that aid in recovery while fully embracing the body’s own healing power.

Naturopaths are trained in herbal and nutritional medicine, diet, lifestyle, bio-chemistry and modalities such as homeopathy, iridology, hair mineral analysis and natural energy medicine. Naturopaths often work with doctors to fine-tune the diagnosis of their clients, however, unlike medical doctors, once the diagnosis is fully ascertained, naturopaths offer natural and complementary medicine as the treatment of choice. Some clients will continue to take medicines prescribed by their doctors while on a regime of complementary medical offerings.
