Naturopathy Redefined

 

What is Naturopathy? What

is it really?

 

There wasn’t one decent description of it in the dozen dictionaries I

checked, so I had to refine the definition myself going back to basics. According to Webster’s, the word

Naturopathy comes from the three root words, " NATURE " ,

" O " and " PATHY " . " NATURE "

traces back to the Latin word “natus” which means

" birth or, Cause " . " O " ,

is Old English for the word “Of " , while " PATHY "

comes from the Greek word “pathos” meaning " Disease " . Well - this is absolutely wonderful,

for now at least a " working " definition can be created as follows:

 

Naturopathy: A practice

that deals with the Cause of a Disease.

 

In using the words

" Nature " and “Natural " , it can be easily seen that man made

drugs and surgery as used by the psychiatrist and the medical doctor have

absolutely no place in Naturopathy or in its description. Therefore an exact definition is now

created as follows:

 

Naturopathy n. The science

or art of treating a disease by addressing the CAUSE, using Nutrition, Exercise, Sunlight, Clean Air, Pure

Water, Massage, Hydrotherapy (both Hot & Cold), Confront, Prayer,

Meditation, Lifestyle, Biochemistry (which includes vitamins, minerals,

enzymes, etc.), and correcting any imbalances found.

 

Teachers and healers beyond count have witnessed, that the correction

of these imbalances permits the body to mend itself automatically, resulting in

excellent health. Another thing is

certain. By addressing the

" Cause of a Disease " , Naturopathy as a subject, science and practice,

is senior to, and more effective in treatment than Conventional Medicine that

handles only the symptoms.

 

Yours in Health and Love,
