Naturopathic Primary Care
What is Naturopathic Medicine?
Naturopathic medicine is based on the belief that your body has a powerful natural healing ability. Naturopathic doctors (NDs) teach their patients to use diet, exercise, lifestyle changes and cutting edge natural therapies to enhance their bodies’ ability to recover from disease.
NDs view you as a whole person, not as a symptom or disease with a label, such as hypertension or breast cancer.
Six Founding Principles of Naturopathic Medicine
Let nature heal. Identify and treat the cause of disease. First, do no harm. Educate Patients. Treat the whole person. Prevent future illness.
Who Are Naturopathic Physicians?
Naturopathic physicians (NDs) work in private practices, hospitals, clinics and community health centers.
NDs practice medicine throughout the United States, Canada and Europe. NDs also work in clinical research. Qualified naturopathic physicians undergo rigorous training before they become licensed to practice medicine.
