The naturopathic practitioners will help the patient to find out the factors that affect healing process and suggest ways to eliminate it, rather than using drugs or medicines to heal the body.

Identify and treat the cause

The naturopathic practitioners treat the patient using natural therapeutic methods and emphasize the first rule, “Do no harm”.
