The key to your well-being

Naturopathy is an ancient holistic natural medicine. It focuses on all aspects of the individual and aims to provide a comprehensive solution: physical, psycho-emotional, and energetic.

La naturopathie, la clé de votre bien-être

Naturopathy can be traced back to the 4th century BC, as it is based on the principles of Hippocrates (460 – 356 BC). It should be noted that from Antiquity to the 17th century, naturopathy was the common medicine for all. The first naturopathy school was established in 1901 in the United States under the influence of a German physician, Dr. Benedict Lust. The principles taught were based on lifestyle techniques. The biologist Pierre Valentin Marchesseau (1911-1994) was the founder of contemporary Naturopathy in France, influenced by prominent figures of the time in the USA (Lutz, Mac-Fadden, Krishnamurti) and in France (Carton, Mono, Rouhet).

Since 1978, it has been recognized by the WHO (World Health Organization) as a Traditional Western Medicine, along with Traditional Chinese Medicine and Ayurveda, as they have been based on similar natural foundations and principles for millennia.

Naturopathy is complementary to modern allopathic medicine.

Naturopathy and its benefits

As you have understood, naturopathy is a comprehensive and complete method that primarily works on stimulating the body’s natural defense and balance mechanisms. The body has all the knowledge to create its natural healing processes.

The goal of the naturopath is to guide you in preserving, optimizing, or regaining balance and vitality when they are lacking. To do this, they stimulate your body’s regenerative potential by relying on your strengths.

As a natural medicine, naturopathy allows you to adopt healthy lifestyle habits for a fulfilling life.

* In naturopathy, “vitality” refers to the overall defensive, adaptive, and regulatory factors of an individual. It is complementary to modern allopathic medicine.

FAQ

Naturopathy is a system of healthcare that emphasizes the maintenance of overall health through natural means. It advocates for the concept of “health capital,” which involves actively taking care of one’s health and well-being using natural methods. Naturopathy considers the individual in all dimensions, assuming that humans can express themselves on various levels: physical, energetic, emotional, mental, spiritual, sociocultural, and even ecological.

Naturopathy can help with a wide range of health issues, including digestive disorders, sleep problems, allergies, chronic pain, hormonal imbalances, anxiety, depression, and more. It is also useful for disease prevention and improving overall health.

Everyone can benefit from naturopathy! It is a holistic approach to health that can be beneficial for anyone, regardless of their physical condition or age. It is suitable for individuals who wish to take control of their health naturally, adopting healthy lifestyle habits and using natural methods to support their well-being.

The initial consultation with a naturopath typically lasts around 1.5 hours. Unlike a medical doctor who diagnoses a specific condition, a naturopath engages in an in-depth dialogue with the client, exploring personal history, medical background, lifestyle, diet, constraints, and more. Based on this assessment, the naturopath develops an individualized wellness plan aimed at teaching and advising on healthier lifestyle practices, addressing physiological, energetic, psychological, environmental, and even sociological needs. This vitality assessment allows for personalized recommendations, tailored treatment plans, and techniques to guide the individual towards optimal health.

Typically, 2 to 3 sessions are necessary to address a specific condition. It is advised not to exceed more than 8 weeks between appointments to ensure satisfactory results.
