Naturopathic Medicine is a distinct system of primary health care that uses natural therapies to support and stimulate the body’s own ability to heal itself. Naturopathic medicine’s philosophy is to address the root cause of any illness or disease and to use an integrated approach to disease diagnosis, treatment and prevention. Naturopathic doctors use a scientific and research- based approach in their diagnosis and guide their patients to use their own innate healing powers in their individual treatments.
