 
WHAT IS NATUROPATHY?
Naturopathy is a system of treatment based on a philosophy aimed at supporting and encouraging an individual's natural healing processes as opposed to suppressing their symptoms. A naturopath works with the vitality of the body's life forces. These life forces are constantly striving towards positive health by self-cleansing, self-nourishing, and self-repair. Hindrances that obstruct the easy flow of these efforts, results in symptoms, naturopathically considered as being an expression of the body's striving to restore positive health. So, a naturopath first finds the likely cause(s) of the symptoms, and then supports the patient's healing processes, towards health. For health, a balanced interrelationship between the individual's physical structure, biochemistry and psychology is considered most important.
