Naturopathy

Naturopathy is based on the idea that the body has the power to heal itself if given clean air and water, the right food and exercise, and a healthy lifestyle.

Naturopathic treatments aim to restore the body to its natural state of health balance.

Naturopaths believe that the body has a natural state of equilibrium, known as 'homeostasis' - and a 'vital force' which allows healing to occur.

They believe that poor diet, a lack of exercise, fresh air or sunlight, too much stress or too many negative thoughts can disturb this equilibrium - and that this leads to disease.

It is also thought that an accumulation of toxins in the body, due to poor elimination of waste products, ingestion of chemicals or additives or the inhalation of pollutants can weaken the immune system and suppress the body's vital force.
