Naturopathy

Naturopathy, or naturopathic medicine, is a form of alternative medicine that focuses on using natural therapies and treatments to support the body’s inherent ability to heal itself. It combines various practices, including herbal medicine, nutrition, homeopathy, acupuncture, and lifestyle counseling, to promote overall health and wellness.

What is Naturopathy?

The core principle of naturopathy is to treat the whole person—body, mind, and spirit—rather than just addressing specific symptoms. Naturopaths believe in supporting the body's vital force (or natural healing energy) and emphasize prevention and self-care. They often work with patients to create individualized treatment plans that focus on diet, exercise, stress management, and other lifestyle changes, aiming to restore balance and enhance the body's capacity for self-healing.


Naturopathy can be used alongside conventional treatments, but it’s important to consult with a healthcare provider to ensure treatments are safe and complementary to your cancer treatment.
