Naturopathic medicine is a comprehensive, holistic, individualized approach to improving health and treating illness. Drawing on knowledge substantiated by thousands of years of experience and incorporating modern scientific research, naturopathic medicine is a primary health care profession that focuses on prevention and uses natural methods to promote healing.

Prevention is a priority in naturopathic medicine. When symptoms of ‘dis’ -ease are present they are seen as indicators of improper function, underlying imbalance, and/or poor lifestyle habits. The goal of naturopathic treatment is to determine the underlying cause (s) of disease and then support nature’s inherent self-healing process to restore and maintain optimum health.

Naturopathic Doctors are general practitioners of natural health care who embrace a wide array of non-invasive techniques and therapies to create a preventive, restorative and individualized approach to health care. Naturopathic medicine treats the whole person by addressing all determinants of health, including physiological, structural, psychological, social, spiritual, and environmental factors.
