What is Naturopathic Medicine?
Naturopathic medicine is a distinct primary health care system that blends modern scientific knowledge with traditional and natural forms of medicine.
- Botanicals and nutrition
- Underlying causes
- Treated as an individual
The healing power of nature
It is based on the healing power of nature and it aims to support and stimulate the body’s ability to heal itself.
Naturopathic medicine is the art and science of disease diagnosis, treatment and prevention using natural therapies including: botanical medicine, clinical nutrition, hydrotherapy, homeopathy, naturopathic manipulation, traditional Chinese medicine/acupuncture, lifestyle counselling and health promotion and disease prevention.
How do Naturopathic Medicine and Conventional Medicine Compare?
Naturopathic doctors and conventional doctors both provide primary care. The primary differences between naturopathic and conventional medicine are the philosophical approach and the therapies used.
Naturopathic doctors (NDs) treat patients as individuals by addressing the physical, environmental, lifestyle, attitudinal, and emotional aspects of health.
This allows naturopathic doctors to look for the underlying causes of disease and address them using a variety of therapies.
Conventional doctors generally use pharmaceutical therapies or surgery.
