what is naturopathy?
Naturopathy applies traditional, empirical, biomedical and scientific knowledge to optimise health and to prevent and treat disease.
The principles of naturopathy are:
- Supporting the body’s innate healing power
- Identifying and treating the cause of illness
- Treating the whole person
- Promoting optimal health and preventing dis-ease
- Educating and actively engaging patients in the management of their health
Naturopathy is underpinned by holistic considerations of human health – physical, mental, spiritual and environmental.
The practice of naturopathy utilises a range of modalities that are congruent with these principles.
