Naturopathic medicine is a distinct primary health care system that combines modern scientific knowledge with traditional and natural forms of medicine. The Naturopathic Doctor aims to stimulate the healing power of the body and to treat the underlying cause of disease.
Symptoms are seen as warning signals of improper functioning within the body. Naturopathic Medicine emphasizes disease as an imbalance rather than as an entity. For this reason, treatments are tailored to meet the needs of the individual rather than based on their medical diagnosis. All factors contributing to a person’s health are considered including physical, mental, emotional, spiritual, environmental and lifestyle.
People of all ages and in all stages of life can benefit from Naturopathic care!
