Naturopathy is a complementary system of treatment which incorporates diet or lifestyle changes, herbs, and supplements aiming to treat the body holistically.

Naturopathy is based in the belief that the body given the right conditions can heal itself, that it has a strong vital force which is constantly striving for balance. The goal of naturopathic medicine is to treat the whole person -- that means mind, body, and spirit. It also aims to heal the root causes of an illness and not just stop the symptoms.
