What is a true Naturopath?
-Roger Hammond “Although the term Naturopathy originated in the late 19th Century, the art can be traced back through Germany into Greece, to Hippocrates himself, and even beyond. There have always been people who understood that healing will occur naturally in the human body, if it is given what it truly needs — proper diet, pure water, fresh air, sunlight, exercise, and rest.
