Introduction to Naturopathic Medicine + FAQ
Naturopathic medicine is a holistic way of treating the individual person; in body, mind and soul. It involves the process of addressing the root cause of the disease, not just the symptoms. There is emphasis in using the body’s innate ability to heal, and educating patients about the prevention of disease. These are all done through a collaborative approach involving natural modalities such as acupuncture, botanical medicine, nutrition, physical medicine, and lifestyle counselling.
