What is Naturopathy?
Naturopaths study all about the body and how it functions much as a Doctor would. We believe that for the most part, while pharmaceuticals may help with symptoms they do not heal the underlying cause.

Herbal medicine it has so much to offer.
There are herbs for the immune system, herbs for the different phases of liver detoxification, herbs for ridding the body of viruses, herbs that are antibacterial, herbs for the adrenals, herbs for calming the nervous system, herbs to modulate hormones. The list is endless. Herbal medicine has been largely suppressed and ignored by the pharmaceutical industry who just don’t want you to know the value of it. Why? Because they can’t own and patent herbs. It is the peoples medicine.
