Naturopathy

Naturopathy relies on the body's natural healing powers. It emphasises disease prevention. Disease is treated by observing a healthy lifestyle, with good nutrition and exercise. Naturopathy focuses on the whole person, not just the physical body, and investigates the cause of a particular illness rather than just treating its symptoms. Treatment draws on the practices from many cultures and includes healthy nutrition, exercise therapy, stress management, herbal medicine, homeopathy, acupuncture, hydrotherapy, physical medicine and natural childbirth.
