Naturopathic Medicine is a comprehensive health care system that integrates modern scientific knowledge and diagnostic technology with natural therapeutic modalities to provide optimal health outcomes. The goal of Naturopathic Medicine is to treat the underlying cause of disease and stimulate the healing power of the body. Naturopathic Medicine emphasizes disease as a process rather than an entity: symptoms reflect improper functioning within the body.
Naturopathic Medicine is beneficial in treating both acute and chronic diseases. Treatments are individually designed based on the patient considering physiological, structural, psychological, social, environmental, lifestyle and spiritual factors. Naturopathic treatments are effective on their own and can also compliment conventional medical treatment. Their multifaceted approach to health and wellbeing empowers patients to become more involved with their own health, learning how to prevent disease and heal themselves.
