What is Naturopathy?
Naturopathy is a system of natural health care that aims to support and promote the body’s natural healing abilities. It is based on the principle that the body has an inherent ability to heal itself, given the right conditions. Naturopaths use a holistic approach to health that looks at the person as a whole, rather than just treating symptoms and not considering the bigger picture. In this article, we will explore and answer the following questions of ‘what is naturopathy?’, ‘what does a naturopath do?’, and ‘how can a naturopath help me?’.
What is a Naturopath?
A naturopathic practitioner, or naturopath, is a health practitioner who uses natural therapies and treatments to support and enhance the body’s natural healing processes and aid in improving health. Naturopaths work with their patients to identify and address the underlying causes of illness or imbalances in the body, rather than just treating the symptoms.

Based on this information, a naturopathic practitioner will design a personalised treatment plan that addresses the underlying causes of any health issues you may be experiencing. This plan may include a combination of natural therapies, such as herbal medicine, nutritional supplements, acupuncture, homeopathy, and lifestyle counselling.
