Naturopathy is an eclectic system of healthcare,
which promotes the body's self-healing mechanism. The word
"Naturopathy" stems from the 19th Century "Nature
Cures" using treatments incorporating water, air, light,
massage and diet. The early Naturopaths were also called the
hygiene school of practitioners, advocating moderation in eating
and drinking and cleanliness of living. Often fasting was used
as treatment. Naturopathy is still alive and well in the
21st century, indeed it is at the heart of all Holistic
Medicine. |
|
Holistic and naturopathic systems treat the
whole person, physically, mentally and spiritually. There are
many techniques used by Natural medical practitioners including
Reflexology, Cranio-sacral therapy, Hypnotherapy, Nutrition,
Iridology, Psychotherapy and Aromatherapy and many others. |
