What is Naturopathic Medicine?
Naturopathic medicine is a primary health care profession that is focused on prevention and uses natural treatment options to promote healing. Naturopathic medicine focuses on optimizing health and wellness through individualized patient care and health education. The range of treatments are vast and could include pharmaceuticals, herbal medicine, acupuncture, vitamins, diet changes or physical therapies just to name a few.
Naturopathic doctors treat the individual rather than the symptoms alone. Symptoms of diseases are warning signs of imbalance in the body. The primary goal of Naturopathic treatment is to address the cause of the illness on top of relieving the symptoms.
Everyone can benefit from naturopathic medicine. We treat patients of all ages, and in all stages of health – from acute conditions and chronic illnesses to those who are simply interested in optimizing their health and preventing further illnesses.
