What is Naturopathic Medicine?
Naturopathic medicine draws from both traditional wisdom and modern scientific advances to promote health, and prevent and treat disease.
Naturopathic philosophy favors a holistic approach to your health, including customized diet and lifestyle advice.
Naturopathic medicine is a unique health care system that blends traditional and natural forms of medicine with modern scientific knowledge. Naturopathic medicine emphasizes disease as a process rather than an isolated specific event. The naturopathic philosophy is to stimulate the natural healing systems of the body and to treat underlying causes of ailments, not just the symptoms. Symptoms of illnesses and injuries can be warning signals of improper functioning of the body, or unhealthy habits.
Naturopathic treatments are chosen based on an individual's need, with attention to their lifestyle, psychological, and physical factors.
“The physician tills the soil and plants the seed... but nature grows the crop; and the patient must be content to wait for the harvest.”
