THE

NATUROPATHIC

APPROACH

Naturopathic doctors merge western medicine with eastern philosophy. Evidence based medicine and traditional knowledge of natural medicine are combined to provide holistic and individualized health care. In North America, Naturopathic Doctors are licensed and board certified medical practitioners. NDs are trained as primary healthcare providers.

 

A holistic approach is used meaning the whole person is treated—mind, body and soul. By addressing the root cause of illness, Naturopathic medicine achieves results without covering up or suppressing symptoms.

 

A guiding philosophy in Naturopathic medicine is that each person already has an innate ability to heal them self. If you have a cut, your body already knows how to heal this wound and will start to do so immediately. This principle is essential when developing treatment plans so as to support and stimulate the body’s natural healing ability.
