What is Naturopathic Medicine?

Naturopathic medicine is primary health care
profession combining effective traditional
therapies with current advances in modern

medicine to prevent as a whole with the understanding that each
person needs a personalized treatment plan aimed at the root cause
of what is ailing them without suppressing their signs and symptoms.
Naturopathic medicine is appropriate for any individual of any age
who is interested in being involved and proactive in their healthcare.

 
Licensed naturopathic doctors (ND’s) are the most highly trained practitioners in the
broadest scope of natural medical modalities. ND’s are required to complete a 4 year
undergraduate degree at a recognized university before going on to 4 years at an
accredited naturopathic medical school. Here, in addition to the basic medical sciences,
pharmacology, and conventional diagnostics, education includes nutrition, botanical
medicine, homeopathy, hydrotherapy, Traditional Chinese Medicine, manipulative
therapies, and counseling. Upon graduation, ND’s must pass standardized
North American licensing exams before practicing and are required to regularly
attend continuing education seminars.
