Naturopathic medicine is based on the belief that the human body has an innate healing ability.

Naturopathic medicine is a distinct health care profession that combines the wisdom of nature with the rigors of modern science. Naturopathic doctors (NDs) are trained as primary care providers who diagnose, treat and manage patients with acute and chronic conditions, while addressing disease and dysfunction at the level of body, mind and spirit.

ND practice is planted firmly in the assumption that it is vital to treat the individual, to stimulate and support the body’s inherent ability to heal, to identify the root cause, address it as naturally and gently as possible, to teach patients how to create wellness, and to prevent illness whenever possible.

NDs concentrate on whole patient wellness through health promotion and disease prevention, while addressing the underlying cause of the patient’s condition.

Naturopathic doctors teach their patients to use diet, exercise, lifestyle changes and natural therapies to help them reach optimal health. They take into account not only the physical but also mental, emotional and spiritual health of patients and use many tools to access the client.
