Naturopathic Medicine refers to a distinct system of healthcare that uses natural methods and substances to support and stimulate the body's inherent self-healing process. The naturopathic doctor views the individual as a whole where symptoms of disease are seen as warning signals of improper functioning of the body and unfavorable lifestyle habits. The primary goal is to treat the underlying cause of the disease. Naturopathic doctors can also complement and enhance health care services provided by other health care professionals. They provide patients with a truly integrative form of health care. In order to treat the whole person and to individualize treatment, naturopathic doctors select and integrate the natural therapies appropriate to the individual patient. Naturopathic doctors have extensive academic and clinical training which involves a blend of medical theory and naturopathic theory and therapies.
