Naturopathic medicine is a system of primary health care that promotes wellness and prevention of illness or disease by integrating standard medical diagnostics with a variety of natural therapies. Naturopathic medicine plays a huge role in integrative health care and the treatments that are offered can be used on their own or together with conventional medicine. Naturopathic doctors work to address the root causes of an illness and works by supporting the body's own healing ability. Treatments include acupuncture/Asian medicine, botanical medicine, physical medicine (such as massage and hydrotherapy, physical therapy), clinical nutrition, homeopathic medicine, and lifestyle counseling.
Naturopathic medicine is for anyone who want to take their health into their own hands. NDs are primary health providers and are qualified to see and treat everyone, though some NDs choose to focus in specific areas, such as pediatrics, fertility, geriatrics, cancer care, sports medicine, digestive health, pain management, etc.
