Normally naturopathy healing works on the body's self-healing abilities, and not to be suppressed with drugs.

Nature has the power to heal. According to naturopathy, the body has the inherent ability to establish, maintain, and restore health. The naturopath's role is to facilitate the self-healing process by removing obstacles to a person's health and recovery.

It works in treating the cause, not the effect. It will never suppress symptoms but treat the underlying causes of disease.

It helps to treat the whole person. Illness rarely has a single cause, so every aspect of the patient--mind, body, and spirit--must be brought into harmonious balance.

It does no harm. Use substances that are nontoxic and noninvasive as possible. Methods that suppress symptoms without removing underlying causes are considered harmful and are to be avoided or minimized.

It help "create" health as well as treat disease.

Finally the patient is educated and encouraged with lifestyle habits that promote good health. The emphasis should be on building health rather than on fighting disease.
