Naturopathy

Naturopathy is an alternative medical discipline encompassing a variety of diagnostic and therapeutic practices, all sharing the common aim of restoring the body’s self-healing abilities and optimal balance. Naturopathy tends to reject pharmaceutical products due to their side effects, and favours natural remedies consisting mainly of vegetal ingredients, physical treatments (e.g. exercise, thermal therapy, healing baths and physiotherapy), relaxation exercises and healthy nutrition.
