Holistic treatments are more favored now than the traditional treatments. Their raising popularity can be accorded to the easy, non-intrusive and attempt at treating the person in whole. Naturopathy and Homeopathy are two systems of treatments that complement each other.

Naturopathy is a method of treatment that targets to mend lifestyle and impose diet modifications to tackle a particular ailment or syndrome. It may use Homeopathy and other herbal remedies etc to tackle a disease. Homeopathy that way is part of Naturopathic treatment. Naturopathy as many other ways of handling a disease too.

Homeopathy is purely based on medications. A seasoned homeopath may advise some lifestyle changes but usually these practitioners give medicines to heal a disease from its root. While people claim that homeopathy does not heal a patient's mind, a homeopath always takes a patient's mental condition into picture. He individualizes the case and treats the patient, which means that the patient is dealt with in totality taking into account his past history, his mental condition, his likes and dislikes etc.

Naturopathy has evolved in the Western countries and people from all walks of life have turned to this form of treatment. Naturopathy is a vast science as it accommodates other alternative medicines like herbal products, homeopathic medicines, therapies, yoga, lifestyle modifications, remedial massage, and tackling nutrition. In general Homeopaths do not ask for any diet changes though they may ask you to keep away if they find you are allergic to some food.

Homeopathy believes in law of similar. It can shock those skeptics who have no faith in the medicine by curing a person of a disease in the fastest way. People who think that Homeopathic medicines are sweet pills and are placebo pills need to rethink. If a normal person is given the cure of itching for example he can develop itching which he did not have at all but the same medicine may cure a person with itching. It is difficult for people who use traditional medicine to understand this philosophy.

Both the forms of treatment have less commonality with traditional methods of treatment as both naturopathy and homeopathy get to roots of a problem and not cure just the top.
