Naturopathic Medicine

What is Naturopathic Medicine? 

Naturopathic medicine is a natural, comprehensive approach to preventing illness, improving health, and treating disease. Naturopathic doctors believe in the body's innate capacity for self-healing, and seek to address and remove the cause of illness. The cause of disease may lie in the physical, mental, emotional or spiritual plane, and each of these areas is taken into consideration when developing a treatment plan. The whole person is addressed, rather than a single symptom. Often a physical symptom is an expression of an underlying mental, emotional or spiritual conflict that needs to be brought to the surface to restore balance to the whole.
