What is Naturopathy?

Naturopathy is based on the idea that the body has the power to heal itself if given clean air and water, the right food and exercise, and a healthy lifestyle.  Naturopathic treatments aim to restore the body to its natural state of balance

Instead of treating symptoms directly, naturopaths aim to strengthen the body’s natural defences and internal function so the body can bring itself back to health

Therapies include:

Healthy foods, supplementation and detoxification regimes (including fasting where necessary); used to help eliminate toxins from the body and strengthen the immune system

Hydrotherapy (using hot and cold baths, mineral spas and douches), herbal compresses and dry skin brushing; used to stimulate circulation and the lymphatic system

Breathing and relaxation exercises and stretches; used to improve flexibility and promote relaxation

Osteopathic manipulation; used to correct structural misalignment

Massage; used to improve circulation and relax the body and mind
