Naturopathic Medicine
Naturopathic medicine employs the healing power of nature to help heal the body. It utilizes modern and traditional, safe, natural remedies and sometimes pharmaceuticals to prevent and treat root causes of illness. Naturopathic medicine treats the whole person— mind, body, and spirit.
Naturopathic medicine utilizes clinical and laboratory diagnostics and therapeutic interventions such as nutritional medicine, botanical medicine, homeopathic medicine, physical medicine, behavioral medicine, and lifestyle recommendations.

What is a naturopathic doctor?
“Naturopathic doctors are educated and trained in accredited naturopathic medical colleges. They diagnose, prevent, and treat acute and chronic illness to restore and establish optimal health by supporting the person's inherent self-healing process. Rather than just suppressing symptoms, naturopathic doctors work to identify underlying causes of illness, and develop personalized treatment plans to address them. Their Therapeutic Order™, identifies the natural order in which all therapies should be applied to provide the greatest benefit with the least potential for damage.” — The American Association of Naturopathic Physicians.
