Naturopathic healthcare grew out of the alternative healing movement of the 18^th and 19^th centuries. It gained a foothold in America by the middle of the 19^th century as a result of the establishment of natural springs and spas in the US The early naturopaths attached great importance to a natural, healthy diet. John Kellogg, a physician and vegetarian, and his brother Will, along with a former employee, C.W. Post, helped popularize naturopathic ideas about food, and at the same time founded cereal companies which today bear their names.

Naturopathic healthcare has been gaining in popularity in the past two decades. This is due to a number of reasons, including increased public awareness of the role of diet and lifestyle in the cause of chronic disease, and the realization that conventional biomedicine (i.e. antibiotics, prescription drugs, invasive surgery, chemotherapy) cannot solve all of Americas health problems.

Naturopathic healthcare treats health conditions by utilizing the bodys inherent ability to heal itself. Naturopathy focuses on healing the person, not the disease. Its main focus is in preventing diseases before they occur. Naturopathy does not utilize any surgery or the use of synthetic drugs at all. This is very safe and is the approach used by Abundant Health & Wellness.
