Naturopathy recognizes that a patient's mental, emotional and physical states must all be considered during a treatment for there to be any effect. It is a system of medicine using natural substances and nutrition as its resources.
Its foundation is the philosophy of "the healing power of nature", meaning that within us all lays a healing energy (our immune system) that heals and maintains our health. The belief is that the body will heal itself and recover from illness if it is in a healthy environment. The naturopath supports this healing system by creating a healthy environment for the body to heal itself.
Finally, the naturopath seeks to treat the cause of the illness, and not simply the manifestations or symptoms. This process leads to a much healthier and efficient form of healing.

Homeopathy is a medical system that uses diluted amounts of plants, minerals and animals to treat patients. Its origins go back over 200 years to a medical doctor, Samuel Hahnemann. Hahnemann was concerned with the increasingly frequent side effects that were occurring due to conventional drugs.
Hahnemann began researching and testing with diluted amounts of these drugs, and soon discovered that .the potency was increased all while reducing the side effects. He set forth guidelines for classical homeopathy, which focuses on complete healing rather than temporary relief.
Classical homeopathy is based on more than 200 years of research, study and practice. Each homeopathic remedy has a unique profile. The homeopath must understand every unique profile in order to safely and effectively treat the patient on an emotional, mental and physical level.
