Naturopathy is a holistic system of medicine that is global in its scope of philosophy and practice. Its philosophical roots draw from the Greek, Indian, and Chinese traditions illuminated by the great philosophers of antiquity. The origins of some naturopathic principles and practices can be found as far back as 2700 BCE, from Imhotep ("the one who comes in peace"). 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.
Naturopathic practitioners are health professionals with an eclectic background of education and training. Regulation and integration into the scientific consensus varies widely among regions of the world, and the United States.
