About this treatment
What this treatment is designed to do
Naturopathic medicine is a distinct system of primary healthcare practiced by Naturopathic Doctors (NDs) who are trained as general practitioners specializing in natural therapeutics. NDs complete four-year doctoral programs that include the same basic sciences as conventional medical schools, plus extensive training in clinical nutrition, botanical medicine, homeopathy, physical medicine, and counseling. Licensed NDs can diagnose disease, order lab tests and imaging, perform physical exams, and in some states prescribe medications, all while focusing on the body's inherent healing capacity and least invasive interventions.
Naturopathic medicine is guided by six core principles: First, do no harm (use the least invasive effective treatment). The healing power of nature (support the body's self-healing). Identify and treat the cause (address underlying dysfunction, not just symptoms). Doctor as teacher (empower patients with knowledge). Treat the whole person (address physical, mental, emotional, spiritual, and environmental factors). Prevention (emphasize building health rather than fighting disease). These principles create a medical practice that looks fundamentally different from conventional medicine, prioritizing prevention, education, and natural therapeutics.
Naturopathic consultations are comprehensive, often lasting 60-90 minutes or more. NDs take detailed health histories, review diet and lifestyle, and use advanced lab testing to identify underlying imbalances. Treatment plans are personalized and may include clinical nutrition, herbal medicine, nutritional supplements, homeopathy, physical medicine, hydrotherapy, and lifestyle counseling. NDs work both independently and in collaboration with conventional doctors, providing integrative care that combines the best of natural and conventional medicine. For those seeking doctors who have time to listen and tools beyond just pharmaceuticals, naturopathic medicine offers comprehensive natural healthcare.
