Naturopathy is a system of natural medicine that uses time honoured therapies such as herbal medicine, dietary and supplementary nutrition, homeopathy, exercise and lifestyle balance as a basis for the treatment and prevention of illness towards the maintenance of wellness.
Naturopaths as health care professionals treat the whole person rather than just the symptoms of disease with the goal of achieving balance between the physical, mental and emotional levels of being.
Traditionally practitioners concentrated on the therapeutic use of diet, water, exercise and positive thought. Todays Naturopaths integrate the best of modern medicine and diagnostic tools together with traditional and indigenous systems.
