Naturopathic Medicine

What is Naturopathic Medicine?
Founded upon a holistic philosophy, naturopathic medicine combines safe and effective traditional therapies with the most current advances in modern medicine. Naturopathic medicine is appropriate for the management of a broad range of health conditions affecting all people of all ages.

Naturopathic physicians (NDs) are the highest trained practitioners in the broadest scope of naturopathic medical modalities. In addition to the basic medical sciences and conventional diagnostics, naturopathic education includes Clinical Nutrition, Botanical Medicine, Homeopathic, Physical & Classical Chinese Medicine, Lifestyle Counseling and Stress Management, Natural Childbirth, Hydrotherapy, Pharmacology and Minor Surgery.

History of Naturopathic Medicine

Naturopathic medicine, sometimes called "naturopathy," is as old as healing itself and as new as the latest discoveries in biochemical sciences. In the United States, the naturopathic medical profession's infrastructure is based on accredited educational institutions, professional licensing by a growing number of states, national standards of practice and care, peer review, and an ongoing commitment to state-of-the-art scientific research. Modern American naturopathic physicians (NDs) receive extensive training in and use therapies that are primarily natural (hence the name naturopathic) and nontoxic. Many NDs have additional training and certification in acupuncture and home birthing.
 
These contemporary NDs, who have attended naturopathic medical colleges recognized by the US Department of Education, practice medicine as primary health care providers and are increasingly acknowledged as leaders in bringing about progressive changes in the nation's medical system.

Why Choose a Naturopathic Physician?

Many of us are living longer and expecting more from our lives. We want to remain active, mentally and physically, and have come to understand that the quality of our life depends upon our health. Adults of all age groups visit naturopathic physicians for a variety of reasons. Some come for specific health issues or disease conditions, others want to optimize their health and decrease the risk for familial tendencies and/or chronic degenerative diseases. Many are confused by the numerous prescriptions they take and are looking for natural alternatives. Many have questions about the vitamins and herbs they take and want guidance about them. They want information so they can avoid side effects, drug-drug and herb-drug interactions.


Naturopathic physicians offer safe, effective, preventive health care for men and women. Sometimes the naturopathic approach requires major lifestyle changes for success. These changes can be more difficult to make as we age. Naturopathic physicians educate their patients and help them make a gradual transition to a healthier lifestyle.
