What is Naturopathy?
Naturopathic medicine is a form of alternative health care that takes a comprehensive, individualized approach in addressing the root causes of illnesses. Like your family doctor, naturopathic doctors are primary health care providers. You do not need a referral to see a naturopath. Naturopathic care involves drug-free non-invasive therapies to restore and support your normal body function. Naturopathic medicine combines scientific knowledge with natural forms of medicine. Naturopathic medicine supports the body’s natural ability to heal itself and offers natural therapies to do so including Traditional Chinese Medicine/Acupuncture, Botanical/Herbal medicine, homoeopathy, nutritional/dietary and lifestyle counselling.
