Naturopathy is a personalized treatment approach centered on the patient’s health, in which the patient and the doctor work together to discover the causes of illness and promote well-being.
This specialty places the individual at the center of the narrative, i.e. it is the patient who is treated and not the disease. This approach requires a detailed understanding of each patient’s genetic uniqueness, biochemical individuality and lifestyle factors. This information is used to designate the treatment plan, which can help the patient improve various health problems.
This strand also recognizes that there is a web-like interconnection of all the body’s systems, where the aim is to identify the cause of the illness, rather than focusing on the symptoms. A health problem can have different causes and, likewise, one cause can result in several dysfunctions. As such, Naturopathy aims to understand the particular expression of the disease in each individual.
