What Is Naturopathic Medicine?

Naturopathic medicine is a primary-care system that blends modern science with traditional and natural forms of medicine.

Naturopathic medicine addresses a broad range of health concerns, from pediatric to geriatric care, from minor illness to chronic illness, and from physical to psychological concerns.

It is the art and science of disease diagnosis, treatment, and prevention using natural therapies. This approach takes the time to look at the whole person, considering physical, mental, and emotional aspects of health.

• Modern science is considered alongside traditional and natural forms of medicine.
• Care may address health concerns across different stages of life.
• Assessment considers the physical, mental, and emotional aspects of health.
• Treatment and prevention are individualized according to each person’s needs.
