Naturopathy is the study of natural medicine. It is based on the premise that the body has an innate ability to heal and that symptoms can be treated with non-conventional, alternative therapies. A Naturopath will therefore have knowledge and understanding of many different modalities, including: Homeopathy, Herbal Medicine, Nutrition, Massage, Aromatherapy, and Reflexology. Many people are now choosing alternative ways to treat their problems and Naturopathy is one of these. It is becoming an increasingly popular therapy with a shortage of practitioners.
