Naturopathic medicine is a distinct primary health care system that blends modern scientific knowledge with traditional and natural forms of medicine. The naturopathic philosophy is to find the root cause of disease and then stimulate the healing power of the body to heal holistically, not merely treat the symptoms. Finding the root cause is the primary goal and the next step is an individualized treatment plan based on picture presentation of the patient’s concern. The modalities that naturopathic medicine offer are diet and lifestyle optimization, natural therapies including botanical medicine, dietary adjustment, nutritional supplements, hydrotherapy, homeopathy, naturopathic manipulation and traditional Chinese medicine/acupuncture.
