The practice of naturopathy has been around for centuries. Its principles focus on utilizing the natural human impulse toward health. Naturopathy is about tapping into your instincts and intuition about what is best for your body and mind.
We have become accustomed to thinking that health is about deprivation and sacrifice when in fact health is in all of us. It is a naturopath's goal to help you realize your healths fullest potential.
While doctors and scientists are striving to unlock the mysteries of the human body naturopaths are listening to the bodies existing tools to lead us to true health, inside and out.
Thomas Sydenham, renowned English physician of the 1600's, stated that symptoms represent nature's attempt to shake off disease. Traditional medicine is prone to treating the symptoms in an attempt to suppress the disease all together.
Primarily, naturopathy was born form the collection of ideas and experiences of European practitioners focused on the natural approach to health. It was around the start of the 20th century that these ideas began to find their way into the United States.
Many assume that naturopathy is simply about herbs and whole food nutrition. These are certainly large elements to the approach but water is the first step with a proper exercise regimen following close behind. Naturopathic exercise has a strong emphasis on stretching and good posture.
Among many methods used in naturopathy to open the body to its own health through food and nutrition is fasting. When fasting, it is important not to work at your usual pace throughout the experience, but to rest more and practice deep breathing. This slowing of the pace of life is instrumental itself in helping the body to express its health.
Naturopaths understand that their job is to listen and take your history and experiences into consideration when providing guidance. Naturopathy is very much about taking each clients health as a case by case basis since no two people are alike. - 14130
