Naturopathic medicine
What is naturopathic medicine?
Naturopathic medicine is individualized medicine built on the foundation of scientific research and clinical experience. It employs the least intrusive treatment required by the body and mind to promote healing and optimal wellness. To that end, Naturopathic Doctors (aka: NDs or Naturopaths) choose from many tools to optimize your health: lifestyle coaching, botanical medicine, hydrotherapy, homeopathy, counselling, functional lab testing, biofeedback, and more.
What is naturopathy good for?
Naturopathy is good for anyone looking for an integrative approach to their health, whether they have a chronic disease or are looking for preventative health care.
