Naturopathic Doctors are the general practitioners of natural medicine. We are trained in conventional pathology and diagnosis, as well as a number of therapies that support the body’s innate ability to heal itself. Clinical tools include nutrition, homeopathy, herbal medicine, Traditional Chinese Medicine (acupuncture, herbs, diet), lifestyle counseling, and mind-body medicine. A licensed Naturopathic Doctor has completed four years of graduate school at a Naturopathic medical college and has successfully passed North American wide licensing exams (NPLEX).
