| What is naturopathy ? |
 Naturopathy is 2000 years old. Naturopathic medicine is the oldestsystem of healing and dates back to at least 400 BC when Hypocrites became famous for his treatment of disease in accordance with natural laws. Modern Naturopathy was pioneered in Germany in the early 19th century by therapists who founded hydrotherapy. Towards the end of the century, a Bavarian monk, Father Sebastian Kniepp successfully treated an ailing American Benedict Lust who after studying with Kniepp returned to the USA to found naturopathy.
Naturopathy is not an individual therapy, naturopathic medicine is a distinct system of healing which seeks to promote health by stimulating and supporting the body's inert power to heal itself in all three centres, physical, mental and emotional.
Symptoms, such as fever, asthma, eczema, allergies and digestive problems are the body's attempt to heal itself. |
| How does it work ? |
Naturopathy seeks to remove obstacles that block healing such as drugs, processed or treated food, pollution and chemical poisoning.
Naturopathic treatments include detoxification, Epsom salts baths, pure water, dairy/wheat free diets, fresh organic fruit and vegetable juices, fresh organic food, supplements, minerals and vitamins.
A Breath for Life believes that knowledge is power. All we can do is to offer advice and information to parents. This means that the parents have a choice about how their child is treated. If they choose to take our advice very often this means a change of lifestyle for the whole family. We support the commitment of our families by offering practical, financial and emotional assistance.
Children respond particularly well to naturopathic medicine. From the moment of birth the body wishes to maintain optimum health. The natural law is that even with illnesses that we can not see once we remove the 'blockages' interfering with the healing process and cleanse the tissues of impurities we allow the body's intelligence to take over.
Naturopathy helps the body to get back into rhythm with it's own energy and harmony. |
