UNDERSTANDING NATUROPATHY
The Natural Approach To Health Care
Naturopathy is a distinct system of medicine that stresses
health maintenance, disease prevention, patient education
and patient responsibility in contrast to the currently
dominant health care system that emphasizes treatment of
disease.
Symptoms represent a constructive phenomenon that is the
best response the organism can muster, given the
circumstances. The role of the Naturopathic Health
Practitioner, then, is to understand and aid the body’s
efforts to heal from within.
Once a good understanding of your health and disease
status is established, your Naturopathic Health
Practitioner will work with you to establish a
personalized treatment and health-promoting program.

The naturopathic approach to health care can prevent
minor illness from developing into more serious or
chronic degenerative diseases. Patients are taught
the principles with which to live by a healthy life;
by following these principles they can prevent major
illnesses. Therefore naturopathic medicine is useful
for almost every illness, depending on its stage. |
