What is Naturopathy?
Naturopathy is a holistic system of medicine that emphasizes the body's natural ability to heal itself. Naturopaths believe that the root cause of illness should be addressed, rather than just treating the symptoms. They use a variety of natural therapies to support the body's healing process, such as herbal medicine, nutritional counseling, mindfulness practices, and lifestyle changes.
Naturopaths focus on identifying and removing the obstacles to the body's natural healing mechanisms. They believe in treating the whole person - mind, body, and spirit - and emphasize disease prevention and self-care through lifestyle modifications. This can include dietary changes, stress management techniques like mindfulness practices, and regular exercise.
