The aim of naturopathic treatment is to make full use of people’s innate healing ability.
This includes your dietary choices and intake, your lifestyle i.e. your work, your social life, your home, your exercise, and your sleep. It is the combination of these and often many more factors, which influence all levels of our being; physical, mental and emotional.
