Page 1 of 12 "The art of healing comes from nature, not from the physician. Therefore the physician must come from nature, with an open mind." -- Paracelsus 1493-1541 Introduction Naturopathy is a form of healing that is primarily based on the natural healing abilities of your body. Through the use of natural substances and non-invasive techniques, naturopathic doctors facilitate this inherent healing ability through a variety of natural therapies and gentle techniques that draw from many cultures and healing modalities. The philosophies of naturopathy are rather unique in the broader medical community. Your body is treated as a whole and a naturopath will take into account your physical, mental, emotional, and spiritual needs. And rather than merely treating or suppressing symptoms, underlying causes are addressed. More than just a doctor, your naturopath is a teacher who will educate, empower, and motivate you to lead a healthier lifestyle.
