Naturopathic medicine is based on the belief that the human body has an innate healing ability. Natural medicine practitioners teach their patients to use diet, exercise, lifestyle changes and cutting edge natural therapies to enhance their bodies’ ability to ward off and combat disease. Natural medicine practitioners view the patient as a complex, interrelated system (a whole person), not quite as a clogged artery or a tumor. Naturopathic physicians craft comprehensive treatment plans that blend the best of modern medical science and traditional natural medical approaches to not only treat disease, but to also restore health.
