What is naturopathic medicine?

Naturopathic Doctors (ND) are licensed physicians specializing in natural medicine. Licensed NDs attend an accredited 4-year naturopathic medical school, must pass professional board exams, and maintain a medical license to practice medicine.

Naturopathic physicians seek to restore and maintain optimum health in their patients by supporting the person's inherent self-healing process. There are a number of diagnostic and therapeutic modalities naturopathic physicians use when treating patients: clinical and laboratory diagnostic testing, clinical nutrition, botanical medicine, homeopathy, acupuncture, counseling, naturopathic physical medicine, IVs and injection therapies, and prescription medicines.

Naturopathic medicine is distinguished by 6 principles:

1. First do no harm
2. The Healing power of nature
3. Identify and treat the cause
4. Treat the whole person
5. Doctor as teacher
6. Prevention
