What is Naturopathy?
What is Naturopathy?
Naturopathy views poor health as the result of an imbalance within the body, caused by internal and/or external factors and therefore, aims to rebalance the body. Rebalancing the body back to a state of homeostasis or equilibrium is achieved via the use of natural medicines such as: supplements, herbs, tissue salts, homeobotanicals, and/or flower essences; stress reduction therapy including: positive growth mindset, mindfulness, meditation, breathwork, massage, and/or yoga; and healthy lifestyle choices such as nutrition, removal of allergens (food and environmental), exercise, good sleep hygiene, and changing negative and unhealthy habitual patterns. ​
Naturopathy uncovers, and treats, the underlying root cause of any health condition, rather than treating only the symptom/s. Treatment plans are individualized and designed to meet each clients specific needs, based on their current state of health, lifestyle, medical/health history, and clinical assessments and testing results. Every client is viewed in a holistic manner. All aspects of health - physical, psychological, emotional, and spiritual, are considered and addressed.
