Naturopathic Medicine

---

Naturopathic Medicine is an holistic therapeutic approach that promotes physical recovery. Naturopathy treats each person individually and holistically (body, soul, mind) in order to discover and deal with the causes of each problem and not just the symptoms. Poisoning (toxifying) either from wrong nutrition or from other sources such as environmental pollution, psychological or biological facts, and lack of micronutrients could cause illness. The Naturopahic Therapist/Doctor must inspire, transmit and train the patient to take personal responsibility for their health.
