What is naturopathy?

Naturopathy, or naturopathic medicine, is a unique and dynamic philosophy and system of healthcare that emphasises prevention, the self-healing process, and the promotion of health and wellbeing through the use of natural therapies. Naturopathy is both as ancient as healing itself and as modern as the latest medical breakthrough. It integrates the best of traditional healing wisdom and practice with current health research drawn from peer-reviewed journals in a variety of disciplines, including medicine, nutrition, phytotherapy and psychology.

Naturopathy does not “diagnose” or “treat” disease; its emphasis is on identifying and addressing the underlying causes or patterns of illness, better managing symptoms so as to improve quality of life, and supporting the body-mind-spirit to return to a state of optimum balance in which the self-healing process can occur. Natural therapeutic modalities used in naturopathy to enhance health and wellbeing may include herbal medicine, nutritional medicine, dietary and lifestyle modification, energetic medicine such as flower essences, and complementary modalities such as Yoga.
