The foundation of Naturopathy is the philosophy of the "healing power of nature". This means that the body has its own healing energy within and with the help of naturopathic treatment; the body can repair itself and recover from illness if it is in a healthy and supportive environment.

Naturopaths aim to educate, empower and motivate the patient to assume personal responsibility for his or her health by adopting a healthy attitude, diet and lifestyle. They do not simply treat the manifestation of a disease and its effects, but rather search for and treat the causes of it instead.
