What is Naturopathy?
Naturopathy is both a science and a philosophy of healing with a tradition dating back many centuries.
Like modern Western Medicine, the earliest roots lie with Hippocrates in 400 B.C. when Hippocratic practitioners looked at the body’s natural ability to heal itself and the healing powers of nature. Modern Naturopaths follow those same principles of "Nature - Cure"; they look for the cause of the disease and then use the most natural, non-toxic and least invasive therapy available.
Naturopathic practitioners, working holistically with their clients, have a deep understanding that illness occurs on many levels. The aim of a Naturopath is to work with the client to gain a joint understanding as to why the illness occurred. From here an individualised treatment program is developed and holistic strategies put in place to encourage optimal health.
