Naturopathy

What is Naturopathy?

As more and more people turn to traditional or alternative healthcare, naturopathic approaches continue to grow in popularity.  

​

Naturopathy is a traditional western medicine. It is one of the three traditional medicines recognized by the WHO (World Health Organisation), along with traditional Chinese medicine and Ayurvedic medicine (India).

​

Naturopathy mainly focuses on prevention, treatment and the promotion of optimal health, using therapeutic methods that encourage the process of self-healing.  

​

Naturopathy implies a holistic approach to the prevention of disease, the encouragement of ones'inherent healing capacity, the responsibility for one's health and ones'education in health promotion and healthy lifestyles.

 

Naturopathy combines ancestral natural therapies with contemporary progress in health and human systems understanding.

​

Naturopathy can therefore be described as the general practice of therapeutic natural health, which includes ten techniques. Basically:  

  • Nutritional and dietary readjustment

  • Psycho-emotional management

  • Physical exercise  

​​

… and also:

  • Phytology, with infusions/decoctions and other types of plant extracts,

  • Hydrology (water: sauna, bath, hot water bottle, etc.)

  • The so-called “reflex” techniques (osteopathy, acupuncture, shiatsu, etc.),

  • Manual/energetic techniques (massages and reflexology),

  • Breathing techniques (cardiac coherence, relaxation)

  • Energy techniques (electromagnetic pollution, etc.)

  • Radiation techniques (heliotherapy, color therapy, etc.)
