Natural Medicine
NaturopathyIs
as old as healing itself and as new as the latest
discoveries in biochemical sciences.
Although the term naturopathy was
first used at the turn of the 20th century, the basic philosophy and
many of the methods of naturopathic medicine are ancient, some
dating back thousands of years.
Naturopathy is a distinctively
natural approach to health and healing that recognizes the integrity
of the whole person - an art, science, philosophy and practice of
diagnosis, treatment and prevention of illness.
It's the combination of nature's
healing power and scientific methods that makes it an important
system of medicine for today's health care.
The basic principles are:
• Utilise the healing power of nature
• First, do no harm
• Find the cause
• Treat the whole person
• Preventative medicine
Naturopathy includes elements of many
other healing modalities.
