What is Naturopathic Medicine?

Naturopathic medicine is a blend of centuries-old natural, non-toxic therapies with current advances in the study of health and human systems. By concentrating on patients, and not diseases, Naturopathic doctors are able to seek out and find the underlying cause of disease and treat the patient individually according to imbalances found. While naturopathic medicine focuses on whole – person wellness and preventative care, it is also able to easily be merged with diagnosis and treatment from other health care practitioners when appropriate.

Treatment Modalities

Clinical nutrition is a cornerstone of naturopathic medicine. This includes the use and exclusion of specific foods to increase the health of individual patients based on their specific needs.

Botanical Medicine is the use of plants as medicine. These plant based medicines are a naturally safe (when used correctly) and effective way of treating a myriad of imbalances within the body. Botanical medicines can be used as tinctures, bulk herbs, teas, baths, topical applications all of which have been extensively researched over the years.
