Naturopathic Medicine

Naturopathic Medicine is a distinct primary health care system that blends modern scientific knowledge with traditional and natural forms of medicine. It is based on the healing power of nature and it supports and stimulates the body’s ability to heal itself. Naturopathic medicine is the art and science of disease diagnosis, treatment and prevention using natural therapies including: botanical medicine, clinical nutrition, hydrotherapy, homeopathy, naturopathic manipulation, traditional Chinese medicine / acupuncture, and prevention and lifestyle counselling.

Naturopathic doctors aim to get to the root of the dis-ease within our bodies. They view symptoms as warning signs: our body’s way of communicating to us a disharmony that lies deeper within. Sustainable healing comes only if the true cause of the imbalance is removed; using medical science and research, history, and, most of all, presence, a naturopathic doctor aims to help you discover what lies at the base of your body’s dysfunction.
