Naturopathic Medicine also known as Naturopathy is based on Hippocrates’ approach and has the same philosophy. The foundations of Naturopathy are based on the importance of a healthy consumption of food to support the body’s ability to heal itself and maintain its own well-being.

For example, bloating can be a result of dyspepsia, stress, bad posture and gut dysfunction.
