WHAT IS NATUROPATHIC MEDICINE?
Naturopathic Medicine is a unique form of health care using natural substances and gentle therapies to restore and maintain optimum health by treating the underlying cause of a condition, rather than the symptoms alone.
WHY CHOOSE NATUROPATHIC MEDICINE?
Treats the underlying cause - the goal of the Naturopathic Doctor (ND) is to treat the underlying cause of your health condition and not just suppress the symptoms. This will strengthen your overall health and prevent the condition from returning.
Treats your total self - you are unique and the reasons for your health condition are distinctive to you and your lifestyle, diet, genetics, environment, relationships, and mental-emotional health. NDs consider all of these factors for a more complete diagnosis and treatment.
Unique treatments tailored to your health condition - NDs take a comprehensive health history, thoroughly researching all the factors that may be preventing you from achieving optimum health. This patient-centered approach results in the creation of a comprehensive and individualized treatment plan that is custom-tailored to your unique health condition.
Botanical Medicine A cornerstone of traditional medicine
before the development of synthetic pharmaceuticals, many
of which were originally derived from medicinal plants. The
use of the whole plant offers a powerful, yet safe, lasting
and effective solution to health problems by stimulating the
body's own healing process.
