What is Naturopathic Medicine?

Naturopathic Medicine is a unique and comprehensive approach to improving health and treating illness. Focusing on prevention, and using natural substances and treatments, naturopathic doctors support and stimulate the body's ability to heal its self.

The primary goal of naturopathic treatment is to address the cause of the illness, rather than simply treat or suppress symptoms. The patient is seen as a whole person and the Naturopathic Doctor takes the physical, mental, emotional, and spiritual dimensions into account when diagnosing and developing a treatment plan.

The primary therapies used by Naturopathic Doctors are: Acupuncture and Traditional Chinese Medicine, Western Botanical Medicine, Homeopathic Medicine, Clinical Nutrition, and Lifestyle Counseling.
