What is Naturopathy?
Naturopathy is a complementary healthcare model that emphasizes the body's innate ability to heal itself, targeting the root cause of illness rather than simply symptom treatment and searching for a diagnosis. It utilizes natural remedies and therapies such as herbal medicine, nutrition, supplementation, hydrotherapy, and lifestyle counselling to support overall well-being and restore balance. Naturopathic practice focuses on prevention and supporting the body's self-healing mechanisms, fostering a comprehensive approach to health and wellness.
