Naturopathy is a holistic system of medicine that is global in its scope of philosophy and practice. Its philosophical roots draw from the ancient Egyptian, Chinese, Indian, and Greek traditions as illuminated by the great philosophers of antiquity. In addition to ancient and traditional methods, its practice is informed by modern pharmacological and surgical methods as well as evidence-based medicine and systems biology.
Irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) is a disorder is characterized by abdominal pain, cramping, bloating, gas, constipation, and diarrhea. Approximately 20% of American adults have IBS, and it is often associated with psychological disorders such as anxiety and depression.
