Naturopathic Medicine
What is Naturopathic Medicine?
Naturopathic medicine is a holistic approach to healthcare that focuses on treating the whole person and supporting the body’s innate ability to heal itself. It combines modern medical science with natural therapies, such as nutrition, herbal medicine, lifestyle counseling, and physical therapies, to address the root causes of health issues rather than just managing symptoms. Naturopathic doctors (NDs) take time to understand each patient’s unique health history, environment, and lifestyle. By developing personalized treatment plans, naturopathic medicine aims to restore balance, prevent disease, and promote long-term wellness. This approach emphasizes prevention, education, and patient empowerment for sustainable health outcomes.
