Naturopathic medicine is a distinctively natural approach to health and healing. Naturopathic medicine recognizes the integrity of the whole person, including the body, mind and spirit. This includes addressing the root cause of disease and not simply treating the symptoms.

Naturopathy is both a science and a philosophy of medicine based on stimulating the body's natural ability to heal itself and to reverse damage to the body due to lifestyle, stress, injury, diet and/or environmental factors.Naturopathic doctors offer personalized treatment plans with fewer side effects than conventional medicine, to educate and empower each unique individual to take responsibility for improving their own health.
