Traditional Naturopathy at Home
with Stewart Mitchell

With the constant pressure and distractions of existence, it is perhaps easy to forget that daily routines are almost unconscious. It is important, therefore, to realize that much of what our life has been founded upon has been deliberately chosen. By reminding us of our basic self-direction, traditional naturopathy offers guidance and influence at a fundamental level. Unhelpful attitudes and inappropriate responses are, of course, notoriously difficult to alter or even adapt, but naturopathy succeeds by explaining the attractive options: a more conscious life, awakened confidence in our own powers, and an increased understanding of self-healing.

While urging us to develop a philosophical perspective on health, naturopathy stresses active participation and intuitive understanding in maintaining well being. This is very important, because although accidents and other misfortunes, especially loss, surely have a detrimental impact on health, naturopaths contend that most of what is suffered as illness is more likely to arise from the habits of our everyday life.
