What is
Naturopathy?
Naturopathy is the use of natural medicines to target the root cause of your health conditions rather than suppress symptoms.
Naturopathic treatments have no side effects and are safe for everyone, including babies and the elderly. Treatments are also safe alongside prescription medicines (if prescribed by your Naturopath).
The use of herbs is the oldest form of medicine on our planet and is still the front line of treatment for over 75% of the world’s population….because they work

Why Naturopathy?
Many of today’s illnesses are chronic and build up over a long period of time from multiple causes. The principles of naturopathy involve stripping away these harmful influences and allowing the body to live in true health, creating prevention medicine so the body operates in optimum health.
Naturopathic medicine treats the patient from the preventive stage through to serious, chronic and debilitating diseases. People can go to Naturopaths for colds, bronchitis, allergies, as well as for heart disease, diabetes, and malignant diseases – Prevention is the best cure.
“Our daughter Emma (10 years) has had severe stomach aches, constipation and diarrhea. She had also been very irritable for 5 years. We had tried everything, doctors and specialists. We then found that several simple naturopath treatments formulated by Orange Health solved all the problems our daughter had, in just 3 months. We are so grateful to Orange Health!”

A Bit of History
Naturopathic Medicine, or Naturopathy, is a system of medicine that uses natural substances to treat the patient and has been practiced for thousands of years. In the mid and late 1800s in the United States, the standard medical schools taught herbal, homeopathic, and nutritional medicine along with surgery and other medicines.
Gradually, the pharmaceutical companies isolated components of the herbs creating more potent but more toxic drugs. With the introduction of antibiotics with the quick fixing approach, the slower, more gradual effects of Naturopathic medicine were used less.
The current resurgence is due to a recognition of both the accomplishments and the limitations of the current medical system and the efficacy of Naturopathic medicine.
