In other words, the bodies ability to heal itself! This Core principle of naturopathic medicine was expanded to include the healing power of nature on the human body. That while our bodies have an innate healing ability, this is maximized when we interact with the natural, non-built external environment. We currently live in a world of excessive screen time, lights at all hours of the day and rarely touching the earth. We eat food that is made in a factory and spend less and less time truly together: Then we scratch our heads π€·ββοΈπ and wonder why we are sad, sick and fat. Get outside, move your body, spend time off your phones with the people who you love!β€οΈ And donβt forget to take your shoes off!
