Homeopathy vs Naturopathy
What’s the difference between homeopathy and naturopathy? While the two may seem similar, naturopathy is a lot broader than homeopathy, encompassing a wider range of treatments. A naturopathist is more likely to prescribe multiple treatments such as supplements, herbs, and dietary recommendations, whereas a homeopath will only ever prescribe homeopathic remedies.
Naturopathy can encompass a wide range of natural therapies, such as herbal medicines, massage, nutrition, iridology, and more. Its philosophy is “nature cures,” which has similarities to homeopathy, but is much broader.
