NATUROPATHY ALLOPATHY
Naturopathic medicine is commonly used alongside
allopathic medicine to treat many types of illness
and disease.
, naturopathic medicine treats the cause of the
problem or prevents the problem to begin with!

Naturopathy believes in going holistic in treating an
ailment and takes into consideration the spiritual,
emotional and physical well-being.

hence may cure completely
whereas Naturopathy may take time but will try to
eliminate the disease casing tendency from within you.

disease
this does not tackle the deep rooted disease tendency
and hence may not cure completely
Allopathy offers faster relief but may not completely
eradicate the disease

of a patient and accordingly employing natural
therapies to correct the structural, physiological, and
psychological balance

organs with their co-dependent functions.
Naturopaths believe that the body is a perfect
combination of all the organs which work in
coordination with each other to provide a stable and
valuable function
it relies solely on clinical examination and
investigations to confirm a diagnosis
Allopathy lays emphasis on chemical drugs,
anatomical parts, and disease names
The allopathy works by dividing anatomy into various
categories that have their respective specialists who
treat a disease by focusing on their part only
