NATUROPATHIC MEDICINE

Naturopathic medicine is a distinct healing philosophy and practice which seeks to promote health by using the body's own life force, and inner protecting mechanism for stimulating and supporting the body's inherent power of regaining harmony and balance. "This is achieved by a natural diet, unpolluted air, exercise, proper rest and sleep, mental and emotional peace and productive activity. Although the term "Naturopathy" was first used at the turn of the century, the philosophical basis and many of the methods of naturopathic medicines go back at least to 400 B.C. when Hippocrates became famous for his treatment of disease in accordance with natural laws.In fact, though Hippocrates is called the father of medi- cine, modem medical science completely ignores the self-evident law of health.
