Naturopathic Medicine is based on the idea that all living organisms have an innate capacity to heal if given the appropriate building blocks and conditions to heal. As such, Naturopathic Doctors work with their patients to identify barriers to optimal health and structure interventions to eliminate these barriers and support the body's natural ability to heal itself. Naturopathic Doctors develop individualized treatment plans specific to the unique needs of the patient, taking into account the physical, emotional, environmental and spiritual components influencing the patient's health.
Treatments used by naturopathic DOCTORS include:
Botanical medicine
Clinical nutrition
Naturopathic manipulation
Traditional Chinese medicine/acupuncture
Nutritional IVs
Lifestyle counselling
