Tibetan medicine is founded upon the idea that all disease started from the mind and how it is affected by stress, trauma and emotions.  Many other natural medicine practices believe the same, and when you look at the chemical effect of stress on the body, it is obvious to see why.

In Naturopathy, we also trace illness to life altering stresses.  There is usually a chain reaction of events, like a set of dominoes that knock each other over, that lead from your past to where you are now.
