What is Naturopathic Medicine and how does it work?

Naturopathic medicine is a system of healthcare that utilizes natural methods and substances to restore and maintain health while preventing illness. The naturopathic practitioner utilizes skill, knowledge and intuition to get to the root cause of the problem and comes up with an appropriate treatment plan that is unique to a patient’s case. Naturopathic practitioners have very comprehensive training in both natural and allopathic (conventional) standards of care and hence are considered primary care physicians. Complete healing and wellness is the goal, and balancing the art and science of medicine is the ultimate asset of the naturopathic practitioner.
