About Naturopathic Medicine


	Naturopathic principles \| Naturopathic medical training
	Naturopathic Medicine is a system of healing which is both an art and a science. It integrates long-standing traditional systems of healing with the most current scientific advances in modern medicine. The word “physician” is derived from the Greek word for “nature” and Naturopathic Medicine is grounded in the belief that the capacity to heal is built into nature. Treatment modalities used by Naturopathic doctors are natural and nontoxic and are designed to support and promote the body’s natural healing process. The philosophy of naturopathic medicine is holistic; viewing the individual as a complex and unique whole. Naturopathic medicine seeks to address the unique health concerns of the individual and restore optimal health and well-being.
