[in "Therapies"]

"naturopathic medicine […] in addition to the basic medical sciences and conventional diagnostics, naturopathic education includes therapeutic nutrition, botanical medicine, homeopathy, natural childbirth, classical Chinese medicine, hydrotherapy, naturopathic manipulative therapy, pharmacology and minor surgery. Acupuncture: the vital energy (qi) of the body flows in specific pathways. To be in a healthy state, the body's energy must be flowing smoothly and it must be sufficient in amount. Very fine, sterile, stainless steel needles inserted at specific points affect the flow of qi along these meridians. Acupuncture helps overcome illness by allowing the qi to move naturally […] qi gong is translated as ‘energy work’ or ‘energy cultivation’. Practicing qi gong develops the skill of attracting vital energy […] acupressure ­ this therapy uses finger pressure instead of needles. The body's energy, or chi is balanced and blockages cleared to promote wellness and health";

[in “The Seven Principles of Naturopathic Medicine”]

“the hierarchy of therapeutics is the philosophy of using medicines with the least force necessary to bring about a long lasting, non-suppressive therapeutic effect in someone who is sick. This is a very rational, decision making process for the physician based on knowledge, experience and good intuitive sense into a patient’s vital force and the seriousness of the illness”;

“homeopathy […] works by improving the healing force, each person’s innate power to heal […] constitutional remedies are given by skilled homeopaths who assess a person on all levels: physical, mental, emotional, and spiritual […] a constitutional remedy can be a profound tool in improving one’s health and vitality. Like a lever or a tip-rudder, a small homeopathic intervention can move a large mass or change the course of a large vessel. When chosen successfully, a person’s constitutional remedy can be used any time they need to strengthen their vital force”;

“naturopathic philosophy is based on 6 main principles. 1.

[in “The History Of Naturopathic Medicine”]

“historically, naturopathic principles have been in use for centuries. Hippocrates, the famous physician of the fifth century, for example, was the author of the idea that there is a vital force inherent in all living beings, which could serve to promote self-healing. The word ‘physician’ itself was taken from the Greek root physis, meaning ‘nature’”;
