As more of us are seeking natural remedies for our aches and pains, we’re steering away from conventional painkillers, and choosing naturopathic medicine. We spoke to Elle Fox, PR manager for College of Naturopathic Medicine (CNM) to find out a little more about the non-invasive, self-healing courses they offer, which will help us be a little kinder to our bodies.
Naturopathy, which is sometimes known as ‘nature’s cure’, is a system of medicine that focuses on treating the person rather than the disease. It takes the whole individual into consideration, by assessing their lifestyle, environment, emotions, physicality and medical history, and uses a variety of approaches to restore health, such as nutrition, acupuncture, herbal medicine and homeopathy. Naturopathy gives an individual package, which is specifically tailored to the needs of the patient.
