Naturopathic Medicine

Naturopathy is a system of primary health care that follows prevention and healing process using natural remedies. The principles of Naturopathy were first started by the Hippocratic School of Medicine in 400 B.C. The original naturopaths in 1900s around the world were trained by doctors using herbal medicine, hydrotherapy, and other traditional forms of healing. Currently, many countries consider practice of naturopathy as a healthcare system that has evolved by engulfing the traditional medicine of each country with the naturopathic principles, theories, modalities and traditions that have been codified in North America.
