Naturopathy and Nutritional Therapy in South and West Yorkshire Naturopathy or nature cure' has as its fundamental principle the healing power of nature. Naturopathy is a complementary medicine which emphasises the body's intrinsic ability to heal and maintain itself. A Naturopath is a natural health care professional whose aim is how best to support each patient towards wellbeing – whether physical, mental or emotional. Naturopathy is an effective holistic treatment which aims to determine and treat the underlying cause, be it physical, mental or emotional, not the symptoms. Naturopaths focus on the use of natural remedies such as herbs and foods rather than synthetic drugs and surgery in order to help a patient and may use a variety of different treatment methods In my practice I primarily use the natural therapies of nutritional therapy, herbal medicine, iridology, Bach Flower Remedies, and exercise. Naturopathic medicine relies not only on hundreds of years of medical tradition: it also incorporates the latest related medical research. © Cath Finegan 2011 New: Special Programmes for 2011!
