Naturopathic Medicine

NATUROPATHIC MEDICINE

Naturopathic Medicine is evidence-based medicine that treats the whole person by addressing the root cause(s) of illness and emphasizes prevention of illness. Naturopathic doctors educate and empower patients to be the leaders and decision-makers of their own health. Naturopathic medicine philosophy is grounded in the understanding that our bodies have an innate ability to heal; when disturbances to health are removed and the foundations of health are restored, our bodies can return to balance by first using the least invasive interventions.

Naturopathic doctors are trained in lifestyle medicine, botanical medicine, physical medicine, nutrition, homeopathy, mind-body medicine, pharmacology, nutraceuticals, and other modalities, and aim to individualize these treatments to support and restore function with no harm done to the patient

  • WHAT DOES A NATUROPATHIC DOCTOR DO?
  • A naturopathic doctor (ND) bridges the gap between scientific research and traditional therapies. NDs are trained to diagnose and treat disease but rely on natural approaches as much as possible. Your ND will listen to your story, your health history, and your goals and then order appropriate tests to identify the root cause of your symptoms. She will then recommend the least invasive therapies possible to achieve the most lasting results.

  • WHAT IS NATUROPATHIC MEDICINE?
  • Naturopathic medicine is a system of medicine that aims to identify and treat the root cause of illness. It is based on the concept that the body has the inherent ability to heal when given what it needs to be healthy. Naturopathic Doctors (NDs) attend a 4-year post-graduate program that includes clinical training.
