NATUROPATHY
HOLISTIC HEALTH CARE

Naturopathy (Nature-op-athy, Naturopathic Healthcare) is the original form of natural health care legalized by an Act of Congress in 1929 and defined by clarifying amendment in 1931. Congress defined Naturopathy as a drugless, non-invasive and non-surgical way for relief of ailments and sickness by use of all natural methods including; air, water, light, heat, earth, foods, herbs, electricity, physiotherapy, homeopathy, mechanotherapy, bodywork, massage, and all natural methods and modalities. 
 

Naturopathy differs from other forms of the healing arts. It is all encompassing and all inclusive, meaning its practitioners or “Naturopaths” are trained in all forms of natural therapeutics. 
 

Naturopathic Doctors complete a four-year, doctoral level education in many disciplines of non-invasive analysis and naturopathic modalities. National board examination follows to ensure competency in clinical practice.

 

The practice of Naturopathy is recognized as a common occupation at the Federal level (U.S. Congress 1928, 1929, 1931 and 30 Federal Court rulings between 1958 and 1978) and as such it is a profession protected under the 14th and 9th Amendments of the U.S. Constitution. Several States have also made this stipulation either by statute or in the Courts. In 1931, the United States Congress proclaimed that Naturopathy was not Allopathic or Medicine and that Naturopathy does not use drugs or surgery.

Naturopathic practitioners are educated to assist the body's innate self-healing mechanisms to achieve optimal health and wellbeing.
