Naturopathy utilizes Homeopathic medicine as well as..
- Nutritional counseling
- Herbal medicine
- Acupuncture
- Hydrotherapy (water therapy) -- These therapies include drinking natural spring water, taking baths, alternating hot and cold applications, and water exercise, all of which are thought to stimulate healing and strengthen the immune system.
- Physical medicine -- This natural approach to healing involves using touch, hot and cold compresses, electric currents, and sound waves to manipulate the muscles, bones, and spine.
- Detoxification -- This therapy removes toxins from the body by fasting, using enemas, and drinking lots of water.
- Spirituality -- Personal spiritual development is encouraged as part of an overall health program.
- Lifestyle and psychological counseling -- An N.D. may use hypnosis, guided imagery, or other counseling methods as part of a treatment plan.
I would suggest looking into Ayurveda as well. The book 'Perfect Health' by Deepak Chopra would be a nice introduction. Ayurveda changed my life completely.
