Naturopathic medicine is a holistic approach to healthcare that combines the wisdom of nature with the rigors of modern science. It is individualized, patient-centered, evidence-based care that balances the least harmful and most effective approaches, addresses the root causes of chronic disease and facilitates the body’s innate healing intelligence. Rather than treating symptoms as separate and unrelated, Naturopathic Doctors (NDs) recognize that true wellness can only be restored when we treat the whole person and honor the connection between the physical, mental, emotional and spiritual bodies.
In Naturopathic medicine, patient education and empowerment are of utmost importance. NDs spend ample time with patients in order to establish trust, teach patients about their dis-ease and help them understand what it takes to achieve and maintain optimal health. NDs also prioritize prevention whenever possible, working with patients to identify risk factors and create healthy habits before dis-ease manifests to facilitate lifelong wellbeing.
Some of the key elements of Naturopathic treatment include personalized nutrition, movement and exercise, lifestyle modifications, environmental medicine, hydration, sleep strategies, mindfulness practices, homeopathy, hydrotherapy, manual therapies, nutraceuticals, and botanical and fungi medicines.
