Is there a difference between a naturopathic doctor and a traditional doctor?
assistant
Yes, there is a difference. Naturopathy is a holistic approach to healthcare that focuses on the whole person rather than just treating disease. Traditional doctors focus more on treating specific diseases and symptoms. Naturopaths may use natural therapies such as herbs or supplements in addition to conventional medicine. They also may incorporate alternative treatments like acupuncture and massage into their care.
