What is Naturopathic Medicine?
Naturopathic medicine or Naturopathy is the art and science of treatment and prevention using natural therapies. Naturopathic Medicine is complete, holistic, natural, evidence based medicine employing a variety of modalities including homeopathy, herbal remedies, acupuncture, diet (nutrition) and lifestyle counseling. Some Naturopaths are cross-trained in other areas such as hypnotherapy and doula services.
Naturopathic Medicine blends scientific knowledge with traditional and natural forms of medicine.
