Naturopathy maximizes lifes potential

Naturopathy is a multi-disciplinary approach to health care that recognises the body's innate power to heal itself. Naturopaths work from the premise that your body needs certain basics to function properly; the correct nutrients, adequate rest and relaxation, appropriate exercise, fresh air, clean water and sunlight. Whilst recognising the limitations of our modern world, your naturopath will assist you to create a healthier diet and lifestyle that will maintain or help your health return. Often your body needs assistance to function properly. Naturopaths are skilled in tailoring natural health programmes to your unique requirement. Naturopathy plays a great part in prevention as well as assisting disease that is already present.

History: Although the term 'Naturopathy' was only used at the beginning of the twentieth century, the principles date back to 400BC when Hippocrates, the Father of Medicine, became famous for his treatment of disease:

· Only nature heals, providing it is given the opportunity to do so

· Let food be your medicine and let medicine be your food

· Disease is an expression of purification.
