Somebody asked me today to explain the principle of naturopathy. They thought it was 'treating symptoms with herbs and things'.
Although we sometimes end up using 'herbs and things' to treat ailments, it is much more a question of rebalancing the body that has been knocked sideways by 21st Century living; the body has an innate ability to cure itself when given the chance.
But there is little point in consulting a naturopathic doctor if you're going to go home afterwards and gorge on sugary, refined food, and remain inactive while stressed to the hilt. Naturopathy is an on-going process, the benefits of which you should reap into your nineties...
My sister in law is a naturopathic :) I like what she does and I believe in the curative power of nature!
