Naturopathy (otherwise known as 'Nature Cure') dates back to the 'father of medicine' himself - Hippocrates of ancient Greece. Naturopathic physicians work to restore and support the body's ownhealing abilities using a variety of modalities including nutrition, herbal medicine, homeopathic medicine, and orient medicine. A primary health-care system emphasizes the curative power of nature, treating both acute and chronic illnesses in all age groups.
There are four basic principles in Naturopathic medicine:
* Every patient is unique
* Everybody has the power to heal himself
* To overcome any disease (disease) we must treat the causes not just the symptoms
* The whole of a person must be treated NOT just a part.
There is no doubt that the Naturopathic principles are a sound prescription for creating health. Medical literature is now full of research confirming the importance of diet and lifestyle to our general health and many studies are now relating specific foods and lifestyle practices to specific diseases.
