What is the difference between a naturopathic doctor and a homeopathic doctor?
assistant
A naturopathic doctor is a medical doctor who has completed an additional four-year training program in natural medicine. They are licensed to diagnose and treat illnesses using natural therapies, such as nutrition, herbal medicine, and lifestyle changes. Homeopaths are doctors of medicine who practice alternative medicine by prescribing small doses of highly diluted substances that mimic symptoms of certain diseases. These remedies are meant to stimulate the body's own healing process.
