Naturopathic Treatments
Instead of treating symptoms directly, naturopaths aim to strengthen the body's natural defences and internal function so the body can bring itself back to health. Naturopathic treatments include a wide variety of natural therapy approaches, that include herbal, homeopathy, and nutritional supplementation, acupuncture , exercise, hydrotherapy; physio, & orthopathic manipulation; (to correct structural misalignment), detox, breathing exercises and stretches; (to improve flexibility and promote relaxation), Massage; (to improve circulation and relax the body and mind).
Naturopaths believe the body has a natural state of equilibrium, known as 'homeostasis', and a 'vital force' that facilitates healing. Naturopaths also believe poor diet, a lack of exercise, fresh air or sunlight, too much stress or too many negative thoughts can disturb this equilibrium - and lead to disease. It’s also thought that an accumulation of toxins in the body - caused by poor elimination of waste products, ingesting chemicals or additives, or the inhaling pollutants - can weaken the immune system and suppress the body's vital force.
