Quite simply, natural health means maintaining good health naturally through the air we breathe, the water we drink, the foods and fluid we consume, and also through our daily physical movement and activities, rest and sleep, and interactions with other people. In summary, it is how we live in our bodies on a daily basis.
Natural healing involves moving from a state of non-health into health using only natural means. If we fast to cleanse the body of mucous, seek massage therapy to ease aching muscles, or take herbal formulas to soothe an irritated throat, we are using a natural healing modality.
Natural health modalities — such as homeopathy, herbology, iridology, bioenergetic methods, and nutrition — are non-invasive methods of health practice, which are designed to stimulate and maintain the body’s intrinsic self-healing processes.

“I believe to be a true naturopath you must not only be a teacher of natural health but you must also live it. Since starting my schooling at Clayton College, I have been able to start an in-home natural health consulting business. I have been working at that for over a year now with much success.” Glen Depke, N.D., 2005
