What is Naturopathic Medicine?
Naturopathic medicine focuses on natural and evidence-based approaches to health and healing. Instead of treating symptoms, naturopathic medicine aims to optimize your diet, daily nutrition intake, sleeping habits, meditation and lifestyle habits to help your body channel its inner recovery and strength to deal with the illness.
Moreover, a Naturopathic Doctor supplements your lifestyle overhaul with herbal medicine, homeopathy, natural supplements, physical therapies, and in some cases, Acupuncture, to find and address the root cause of illness.
Naturopathic medicine is designed to support and supplement the body’s own ability to heal, rather than relying on overly powerful medications.
