Naturopathy is the science and art of applying the principles of natural medicine to improve health and treat disease by assisting the body’s innate capacity for healing and the maintenance of health. It is this appreciation and knowledge that differentiates naturopathy from orthodox medicine and is based on the six principles of healing:
• First do no harm
• The healing power of nature
• Identify and treat the cause
• Heal the whole person
• The naturopath as teacher
• Prevention is the best cure
Naturopaths endeavour to empower clients to make new life choices that lead to better health and wellbeing, providing lifestyle advice and through the use of a variety of natural therapies from nutrition and herbal medicine to homeopathy, flower essences and aromatherapy.
