Qu’est ce que la naturopathie ?

​

Naturopathy is a preventive medicine recognized by the WHO. She uses natural means (diet, physical exercise, psycho-emotional management and other techniques) that allow you to regain or optimize your health. Naturopathy considers the human as a whole (physical, energetic, emotional, psychological, spiritual, social and environmental).

​

The naturopathic health practitioner questions you by following this approach and is interested in the interactions that may have an impact on your health and well-being. He plays the role of a health educator who accompanies you to become an actor in your own health. It helps you to better understand your body, to increase your vitality, to detect the small alarm signals before the pathology settles down as well as to adopt a lifestyle that respects your physiology.

​

Le naturopathe ne remplace pas le médecin et n’établit pas de diagnostic. En cas de pathologie lourde ou de traitement médicamenteux, la naturopathie peut se pratiquer en complémentarité de la médecine allopathique – avec l’accord du médecin.
