What treatments does a naturopathy use?
Clinical nutrition examines the relationship between diet and health. Special diets may be prescribed and nutritional supplements such as vitamins, minerals, enzymes and other nutraceuticals may be used. Botanical (herbal) medicine – The use of plants for healing dates back to the beginning of civilization and is the foundation of modern pharmacology. Plant substances from around the world are used for their healing effects and nutritional value. Homeopathic medicine – Based on the principle that “like cures like”, homeopathic medicine was developed in the 1700’s. Minute amounts of natural substances are used to stimulate the body’s self-healing abilities.
