Naturopathic Medicine is prevention based-patient focused healthcare. It is used to diagnose and treat people in efforts to promote healing at a causal level and not by solely treating external signs and symptoms. Naturopathic doctors (NDs) are trained as primary care physicians. They teach their patients to use diet, exercise, lifestyle changes and natural therapies to enhance their bodies’ innate ability heal and maintain balance. Naturopathic medicine investigates the relationship between physical, mental, and emotional wellness to create health.

Naturopathic medicine is patient centered medicine. You are a person not a disease. Naturopaths want to find out who you are, and where you came from to be able to remove the layers of imbalance in order to get to the root cause of your dis-ease. You and your naturopath should have a comfortable, supportive, patient doctor relationship encouraging bi-directional communication and a safe environment.
