Naturopathy and homeopathy: what is the difference?
Naturopathy and homeopathy are both alternative-medicine traditions, but they work differently and were developed separately.
- Naturopathy takes a whole-person approach: diet, lifestyle, herbal remedies and other natural therapies, tailored to the individual.
- Homeopathy uses highly diluted preparations, chosen from a detailed intake of a person's symptoms and history.
- Both are offered by registered practitioners on this platform; each visit begins with a consultation before any remedy is suggested.
Ask your practitioner to explain their approach and what to expect, especially for your first visit.
