Naturopathy

Naturopathy is a natural healing technique using the healing powers of nature. The Principle of Naturopathy is that the accumulation of toxins is the root cause of all diseases, hence prevention of such accumulation and elimination of existing toxins is the route to health. This multidisciplinary approach uses the healing power of natural resources like foods, herbs, earth, water, air, sun and even magnets to allow the body to heal itself. Most treatments are based on the 5 great elements of nature that have immense healing properties.
