Naturopathy is a form of healthcare that combines modern treatment with traditional methods. It includes alternative, natural therapies to modern medicine. Naturopathy focuses on: the body’s capacity to heal itself, preventing health problems, a personal responsibility to optimize health. A 2019 review of studies found that methods that use naturopathy may be effective in:
* cardiovascular disease
* musculoskeletal pain
* type 2 diabetes
* polycystic ovary syndrome
* depression
* anxiety
* some other chronic conditions
Naturopaths work on a more personal level, spending more time covering individual needs. They create treatment plans that consider all aspects of a person. Naturopathy can be useful alongside modern medicine, and many say these methods allow the body to activate self-healing mechanisms. Naturopathic healthcare can also be a cheaper alternative to conventional healthcare.
