Naturopathy... or Homeopathy?

[learning to heal]

What is the difference?

I think I feel more drawn to Naturopathy...

Could anyone share their experience with me please?

I think I want to see one but I am worried of the amount of food I may get asked to cut out. I want a treatment that works with me, that teaches me to eat more of the right things so I stop craving the wrong things. And that will help with my health problems.

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.
