It's basically healing through natural means. If you give the body the proper nourishment and avoid toxins, it will heal itsself better than any drug.

Naturopathy is a system of therapy and treatment which relies exclusively on natural remedies, such as sunlight, air, water, supplemented with diet and therapies such as massage. However, some naturopaths have been known to prescribe such unnatural treatments as colon hydrotherapy for such diseases as asthma and arthritis.
Naturopathy is based on the belief that the body is self-healing. The body will repair itself and recover from illness spontaneously if it is in a healthy environment. Naturopaths have many remedies and recommendations for creating a healthy environment so the body can spontaneously heal itself.
Naturopaths claim to be holistic, which means they believe that the natural body is joined to a supernatural soul and a non-physical mind and the three must be treated as a unit, whatever that means. Naturopathy is fond of such terms as "balance" and "harmony" and "energy." It is often rooted in mysticism and a metaphysical belief in vitalism (Barrett).

Naturopathic doctors use naturally occurring items to treat symptoms. This is in contrast to pharmaceutical drugs which are synthetic copies of individual molecules found in nature and are almost always far, far more toxic than their natural counterparts (there is the occasional exception).
It is my understanding that because of the way they are licensed, a Naturopath is not legally allowed to "diagnose" a disease. This means you have to go to a "medical doctor" and get a diagnosis. Then you can go to a naturopathic doctor to get "alternative treatment."
