Naturopathic medicine is a distinct system of primary health care that has roots back to ancient Greece and Hippocrates, who taught, “Nature is the healer of all diseases.” Naturopathic medicine is an art, science, philosophy and practice of diagnosing, treating, and preventing disease. Naturopathic physicians merge the knowledge and wisdom of homeopaths, herbalists, chiropractors, counselors, and nutritionists. Naturopathic medicine attempts to find the underlying cause of the patient’s condition rather than focusing on symptomatic treatment. Naturopathic physicians are both primary care providers and family physicians.

Naturopathic Medicine is a blend of centuries-old, holistic, traditional medicine and up-to-date, researched conventional medicine. Naturopathic physicians strive to find the underlying problem in each patient, whether it is physical, emotional or mental, and then focus treatment to heal on all planes. Naturopathic medicine prides itself in truly bringing about long-term recovery rather than merely masking symptoms with drugs or other unsustainable treatments. Naturopathic physicians, who have undergone four or more years of a graduate, doctoral program from accredited universities, have a large toolbox from which to work; their therapies running the gamut from herbs, homeopathy and medical nutrition, to craniosacral therapy, visceral manipulation and cell salt therapy.

"Naturopathic medicine" means a distinct and comprehensive system of primary health care practiced by a naturopathic doctor for the diagnosis, treatment, and prevention of human health conditions, injuries, and disease. Naturopathic physicians diagnose disease and treat patients by using natural modalities such as physical manipulation, clinical nutrition, herbal medicine, homeopathy, counseling, acupuncture, and hydrotherapy, among others. They choose treatment based on the individual patient, not based on the generality of symptoms. This approach has proven successful in treating both chronic and acute conditions.
