Why Naturopathy

Why Naturopathy?

First do no harm

The essence of medicine. Strive to heal and make better- and never to cause more harm.

Identify and treat the Cause

The symptoms the body presents are merely a signal of something that has gone array in the body. The investigation as to the root cause of all the symptoms is the road to healing.

Doctor as Teacher

The doctor is only able to assist in creating the directions to the healing process. The patient ultimately takes that information and puts it inoto action to heal thyself. Hence the doctor is the teacher, and the patient is the true healer.
