Nature can heal if you let it
Naturopathy is a natural technique which harnesses the healing power of nature. The underlying principle of Naturopathy is that the root cause of all illnesses and chronic conditions is the accumulation of toxins in the body. Treatments stem from the five elements of nature (earth, water, air, fire and ether). No internal medication is prescribed.
