Naturopathy is one of the earliest known healing systems, before surgery and synthetic isolation of chemical substances, foods, water, and whole herbs were used by many cultures for a wide range of problems. He had great respect for natural healing and taught his students that nature could cure and that the practitioner was merely there to assist in the process. Traditional naturopaths (those who practice naturopathy) are historically teachers of wellness. A traditional or classical naturopath teaches clients how to apply natural lifestyle approaches that can act to facilitate the body’s own natural healing and health building potential. The traditional naturopath does not "diagnose" or "treat diseases," but rather recognizes that the majority of sub-health conditions are cumulative lifestyle effects, and that the underlying cause of what we call "disease" (or, "dis-ease") is improper diet, unhealthy habits, and environmental factors which cause biological imbalances leading to a weakening of the bodies’ natural defenses and subsequent breakdown in health. Traditional naturopaths use a variety of natural techniques and holistic modalities to bring the body into balance. Some of those modalities may include but are not limited to: dietary and lifestyle changes, herbal or nutritional supplements, guided detoxification, flower remedies, homeopathy, reflexology, sound and color therapy, aromatherapy and much more.
