Naturopathic Medicine is a distinct primary health care system that blends modern scientific knowledge with traditional and natural forms of medicine. A Naturopathic Doctor combines the art and science of medicine using natural therapies to stimulate the body's innate ability to heal and restore health. A variety of treatment modalities may be used, including:

Naturopathic visits are longer and more in-depth than average medical visits. Naturopathic Doctors look at all aspects of health including current symptoms and conditions, as well as lifestyle factors such as nutrition, digestion, sleep, physical activity and stress. In addition, Naturopathic Doctors recognize that mental and emotional health is just as important to well-being as physical health, and considering each of these together leads to a more well-rounded treatment plan and better overall health.

The aim of Naturopathic Doctors in both treatment and prevention is to address the cause of disease. By removing the cause, the most effective and long-lasting improvements in health can be achieved.
