Naturopathy
Naturopathic medicine is a distinct system of healing – a
philosophy, science, art and practice that promotes health by stimulating
and supporting the body’s inherent power to regain harmony
and balance.
Naturopaths are trained to use a variety of healing
modalities, for example, vitamin and mineral supplementation, herbs
and homeopathy, osteopathy and hydrotherapy.
Naturopathy adheres to the dictates of the Rambam and to the following
empirical observations of health:
- The body heals, providing it is given
the opportunity to do so;
- Let food be your medicine and let medicine be your food;
- Disease is an expression of purification;
- All disease is one - symptoms are an expression of disharmony
in the body.
