Major Medical Treatments: Naturopathy

What is Naturopathy?
Naturopathy is a holistic approach that combines regular medicine with diet changes, plant remedies, and other natural treatments to treat illness, prevent disease, and improve well-being. It is based on the belief that the body can heal itself. Modern naturopathic doctors (NDs or NMDs) are doctors with extra training in these treatments.

Naturopathy has a set of beliefs to guide NDs:

• First, do no harm
• Nature is a healing force
• Disease is cured by removing the cause of illness
• Educating patients is a key part of the healing process
• Body, mind, and spirit balance are needed for true health
• Prevention is the best cure
