What is Naturopathic Medicine?

Naturopathic Medicine is a medical system that focuses on the whole body with the aim of finding the root cause instead of just treating the symptoms. Naturopathic doctors graduate from accredited naturopathic programs where they learn nutrition, herbal medicine, and counseling in addition to pharmacology. 

A naturopathic doctor strives to support a person’s overall well-being. Common treatment approaches are dietary and lifestyle changes, herbal and vitamin supplementation, sleep hygiene, weight management, and stress reduction techniques. 

Most conditions benefit from naturopathic treatment. Commonly treated conditions include digestive disorders, allergies, insomnia, hypothyroidism, fatigue, headaches, hormonal concerns, Lyme disease, diabetes, as well as many others.
