Founded upon a holistic philosophy, naturopathic medicine combines
safe and effective traditional therapies with the most current
advances in modern medicine. Naturopathic medicine is appropriate
for the management of a broad range of health conditions affecting
all people of all ages.
Naturopathic physicians (N.D.s) are the highest trained practitioners
in the broadest scope of naturopathic medical modalities. In
addition to the basic medical sciences and conventional diagnostics,
naturopathic education includes therapeutic nutrition, botanical
medicine, homeopathy, natural childbirth, classical Chinese
medicine, hydrotherapy, naturopathic manipulative therapy, pharmacology
and minor surgery.
