History and Origins

Naturopathy dates back to ancient times, drawing from the healing traditions of various cultures, including Traditional Chinese Medicine, Ayurveda, and European herbal medicine. The modern practice of naturopathy was established in the late 19th century by Dr. Benedict Lust, who is considered the father of modern naturopathy. Today, it is a respected form of healthcare practiced worldwide.

How Does Naturopathic Care Work?

Naturopathic care operates on six foundational principles:

  • The Healing Power of Nature: Trust in the body’s inherent wisdom to heal itself.
  • Identify and Treat the Causes: Focus on addressing the underlying causes of illness rather than just the symptoms.
  • First Do No Harm: Use the least invasive and most natural treatments to minimize the risk of harmful side effects.
  • Doctor as Teacher: Educate patients about their health and encourage self-responsibility.
  • Treat the Whole Person: Consider all factors affecting health, including physical, mental, emotional, genetic, environmental, and social elements.
  • Prevention: Emphasize disease prevention and the promotion of healthy living.
