2023: more health with naturopathy

I.

Due to the speed of the global rebirth of Natural Health during the year 2022, an immediate future of triumphs and victories can be projected, both in terms of ideas and in the field of accomplished facts.

In other words, the philosophy of Integral Health will continue to be consolidated (respecting the endogenous/exogenous natural interconnection and interdependence) and the practice of integrative medicine will be deepened (recognizing and twinning all the medicines that humanity has).

2023 will be a year of more health with Naturopathy.

To maintain this positive perspective, from Venezuela, we rely on several events that occurred, especially the following:

a) In the international arena.
