Naturopathy is a drugless system of therapy, making use of physical forces such as air, light, water, heat, massage, etc.[1] Treatments are often diet- and nutrition-oriented with attention given to the patient's personal history and lifestyle. It is an unproven healing technique when applied to disease, although some of its principles may help in health promotion.
