Is there a difference between a naturopathic doctor and a traditional doctor?
assistant
Yes, there is a difference. A naturopathic doctor focuses on natural therapies, while a traditional doctor typically treats with medications and surgery. Naturopaths also tend to focus more on the whole person, taking into account their lifestyle, diet, exercise habits, and emotional state in order to create an effective treatment plan. Traditional doctors are often focused on treating specific illnesses or symptoms, such as pain, fever, or coughing.
