Naturopathy is a lifestyle of health based on the premise that the human body was created to be healthy and self healing.  Most of the forces that disrupt health are caused by physical as well as emotional toxins. The naturopath strives to identify these toxins and remove them, always mindful to discover the root cause of dysfunction, rather than to address symptoms.

Naturopathy also holds that everything needed for health and healing is found in nature, in the form of live food, herbs, essential oils, and homeopathic remedies. Body work, such as massage, craniosacral therapy and others listed in this web site are often used, and they indeed fall in the catagory of remedies found in nature.

Naturopathy holds to a third truth – the body knows its own levels of health, and it displays that information.  Naturopaths are trained to discover and understand what the body is telling them, and to use this information to make assessments and evaluations.
