 Naturopathic
Medicine
Naturopathic
practice treats the whole person, recognizing that all aspects
of the patients's health - physical, emotions, and mental
- are intimately and inseparably related. In this context,
the Naturopathic Doctor (N. D.), is a general practitioner,
uses therapeutic methods which strengthen and act in harmony
with the body's self-healing ability. Drawing on the proven
medical experiences of cultures around the world, and integrating
these with modern scientific research, Naturopathic Medicine
is working to establish standards for the use of natural therapeutics
in medicine today. Naturopathic philosophy maintains that
there is an underlying cause behind all disease and manifestation
of symptoms. The goal of the Naturopathic Doctor, therefore,
is to address the underlying cause of illness. |
