A naturopathic doctor is a type of medical doctor who focuses on natural treatments for health problems. They typically use therapies such as herbal medicine, homeopathy, and nutrition to treat patients. Naturopathic doctors also often incorporate lifestyle changes into their treatment plans. Unlike other types of doctors, naturopaths do not perform surgery or prescribe medications.
