At a time when modern technology, environmental pollution, poor diet and stress play a significant role in the degradation of health, a naturopath’s ability to apply natural methods of healing is of considerable importance. By using natural therapies, the naturopath is able to treat both acute and chronic ailments successfully.

Much of today’s illnesses are chronic in nature and build up over a long period of time from multiple causes. Many of the principles of naturopathy involve stripping away these harmful influences and allowing the body to live in true health, creating preventional medicine as the body operates in optimum health moving through the cycles of life as intended.

Naturopathy allows the individual to gain a greater understanding of how their body uniquely reacts to the various elements encountered in daily life. As this knowledge grows the individual is empowered with the mastery of how to care for their body, what the best foods are to feed it, how to nurture it and ultimately how to heal it. In this way the naturopathic healing system is also an educational system for the individual as their journey back to wellness continues.
