Theories of Naturopathy

Theory of Vitality

The Theory of Vitality proposes that a dynamic, intelligent life force animates all living systems, governing their capacity for self-regulation, healing, and adaptation. Rather than viewing the body as a mechanical object, this theory sees vitality as the foundational energy that determines resilience and wellness. When this force is strong and unimpeded, health flourishes; when depleted or blocked, dysfunction and disease emerge.

Theory of Toxaemia

The Theory of Toxaemia suggests that illness stems from the buildupof toxins within the body. This accumulation results from long-term imbalances in diet and lifestyle, such as poor nutrition, ongoing stress, and emotional challenges. These factors weaken digestion and the body's natural detoxification processes. When the body cannot properly eliminate waste, toxins build up and lead to a state of toxaemia, which disrupts overall health and function.

Theory of Self-Healing

The body possesses a sophisticated, innate capacity to maintain and restore its own health. This natural self-healing ability is continuously at work, repairing and renewing at every level. True healing is supported through comprehensive rest, including physical, mental, emotional, and sensory rest. This allows the body's restorative processes to function fully. Naturopathy does not impose a cure but works to create the ideal conditions that support and enhance the body's own powerful healing intelligence.
