| WHAT IS A NATUROPATHIC MEDICINE? |
Naturopathic medicine blends centuries-old-natural, non toxic
therapies with current advances in the study of health and human
systems, covering all aspects of family health from prenatal to
geriatric care.
A Naturopathic Physician (ND) is a primary care general practitioner
trained as an expert in natural medicine. Naturopathic medicine
concentrates on whole-patient wellness. The medicine attempts to
find the underlying cause of the patient's condition rather than
focusing solely on symptomatic treatment. For example, congestion
might be caused by a food allergy or an environmental factor-a
naturopathic physician would focus diagnosis and treatment on these
casual factors. Naturopathic physicians cooperate with all other
practitioners for diagnosis or treatment when appropriate.
