Naturopathic Medicine

Naturopathic medicine is a distinct primary health care system that blends modern scientific knowledge with traditional and natural forms of medicine.  It is based on the philosophy that the body can heal when the underlying causes of illness are treated effectively. Using gentle and non-invasive means that stimulate the body’s ability to heal itself, taking into account the physical, emotional, environmental and spiritual influences impacting the patient’s health.

Treatment modalities are tailored to the patient’s individual needs but could include acupuncture, botanical/herbal medicine, clinical nutrition, homeopathy, hydrotherapy, intravenous therapy, lifestyle counselling, natural health product (NHP) supplementation, and other patient-specific treatments.

frequently asked questions

Naturopathic Doctors (ND) have a wide scope of practice and are trained to treat virtually all health concerns ranging from acute to chronic, pediatric to geriatric and physical to psychological. NDs work with three main groups of people:

  • patients that are looking for disease prevention and health promotion,
  • patients with a range of health concerns and no clear diagnosis, and
  • patients with chronic and severe illnesses.

Naturopathic medicine has an excellent record of safety. This is largely due to its use of gentle, natural, non-toxic, non-invasive treatments. Naturopathic Doctors are trained to recognize when a treatment could interact with another medication or cause harm due to another health condition. Also, Naturopathic Doctors are trained to recognize conditions that are outside their scope of practice and will refer to another health care provider when appropriate.
