WHAT IS NATUROPATHY? Although the term “naturopathy" originated in the late 19th Century, it can be traced back through Germany into Greece, to Hippocrates himself, and even beyond. There have always been people who understood that healing will occur naturally in the human body, if it is given what it truly needs: Proper diet, pure water, fresh air, sunlight, exercise and rest. For these people, the emphasis has been to help the body establish its own state of good health, not to focus on disease. CCNH |
