11.1 Principles of Naturopathy

Naturopathy is a system of therapy that relies on sunlight, air, water, foods and other natural sources for health. Some Naturopaths use additional treatments such as

  • hydrotherapy
  • thalmotherapy
  • electrotherapy
  • dilation
  • mineral baths
  • psychotherapy
  • osteopathy
  • neurotherapy
  • corrective gymnastics
  • auricular manipulation
  • mechano-therapy

Based on the belief that the physical body is enjoined with a supernatural soul and a non-physical mind, Naturopathy adopts a holistic approach to healing and living. Naturopathy focuses on identifying and treating the causes of a disease rather than its symptoms.

The three keys to natural curing are:

  • Natural process - use nature (food, sunlight, water, and air)
  • Natural living philosophy - joy of living for health and healing
  • Practical science - use a professional Naturopath for restoring your health

Practitioners of naturopathy believe that a person's health is affected by physical, mental, emotional, genetic, environmental, and social factors. And that these factors should be taken into consideration when choosing treatments for illness.

Naturopaths advise patients to practice a healthy lifestyle by ensuring they get good nutrition, such as eating lots of fresh fruits and vegetables. Naturopaths also discourage the use of drugs, serums, invasive surgery, x-ray, and radiation for therapeutic purposes.
