Medicine, or Naturopathy, is based on the belief that
the body is self-healing. Naturopaths believe that the
body has the ability to repair itself and recover from
illness if it is in a healthy environment. Naturopaths
aid the healing process by incorporating a variety of
alternative health methods based on the individual's needs.
These therapies are based on the premise that they must
use the healing power of nature and should be the least
invasive and gentle to the body as possible. These methods
and treatments rely exclusively on natural remedies, such
as sunlight, fresh air, water, a healthy diet, homeopathy,
Chinese herbs, hydrotherapy, herbs, nutritional supplementation
and other therapies such as massage. |

Naturopaths
have many remedies and recommendations for creating
a healthy environment so the body can heal itself. They
do not focus only on the disease or symptoms, but also
the underlying causes of the imbalance, and after identifying
them, assist the person on building better conditions
by which their body naturally heals itself. Naturopaths
look at each person as a whole person and an individual
and consider the person's lifestyle, diet, exercise
program, mental and emotional state and personal history
when recommending a nutritional program. Naturopaths
believe that true health and healing is greatly enhanced
in a person when all aspects of their body, mind and
spirit are considered.

Naturopathy
has the ability to assist a person in their quest
for better health from a preventive stage through
to serious or chronic conditions. Therefore, people
may visit a Naturopath simply to try to make improvements
in their health, get relief from colds or allergies,
or for more serious conditions such as heart disease
or diabetes.
