The philosophy of Naturopathic Medicine is that all living beings have an innate ability to heal themselves. Our vital force promotes self-cleansing, self-repair, and therefore, self-healing. This process can be achieved by focusing on the immune, hormonal, nervous, and detoxification/elimination systems of the body. Naturopathy supports the body’s natural self-healing abilities and helps it to restore balance. There are many reasons to choose naturopathy: • If you have a chronic disease which is not responding to the treatments recommended by medical doctors. • If you are tired of taking drugs to maintain health for the rest of your life. Naturopathic treatments address the root cause instead of symptoms. • If you want a treatment that offers a holistic approach i.e. it considers all your symptoms and you as a whole, instead of just targeting the disease to be eliminated. • If you prefer natural cures to drug-based symptom treatment and want to avoid drug side effects (all drugs have side effects – even the safest approved drugs have side effects).
