What Is Naturopathy?
 

Naturopathy is a comprehensive system of natural medicine that has been applied throughout the world for hundreds of years. It is very effective, safe and gentle method of healing which works by stimulating the body’s natural ability to heal itself.  It views the illness as more spiritual in nature, similar to Traditional Chinese Medicine, advocating the idea that illness results from bodily imbalances.
 

A form of holistic medicine, naturopathy treats the whole person on mental, emotional and physical levels. It recognizes all symptoms of disease as disharmony within the person as a whole.  Naturopathy recognizes that it is the individual who needs treatment, not only the disease. For a cure to occur, an internal single remedy for the whole person is identified, rather than a several different remedies for each ailment.

 

Dr. Benedict Lust was the founder of naturopathy and the man who sustained and popularized it. Lust had been exposed to a wide range of practitioners and practices of natural healing arts.

 

Naturopathy Consultation
 

A naturopathic practitioner is a unique experience for someone accustomed to conventional medicine. The first task of the practitioner is to record all physical, mental, and emotional symptoms that will determine the patient’s remedy.
 

During the the consultation an individual will be asked to talk about their complaints, as well as the individual way in which they are experienced, one’s reactions to them and how they affect their life.

 

The naturopathic doctor views every disease as a mind-body process, where one’s personality traits are as important as their physical symptoms.
