Naturopathic Medicine is a complete system of medicine that combines the wisdom of ancient healing with the science of modern medicine. Naturopathic medicine uses gentle and effective techniques to support the body’s natural ability to heal itself. Searching for, and treating, the root cause of disease is a naturopathic doctor’s top priority. Naturopathic doctors (N.D.’s) must complete a minimum of three years of university studies before being admitted to the four year doctor of naturopathic medicine program. By graduation an N.D. will have completed 4200 hours of classroom and clinical training. Naturopathic doctors employ, but are not limited to the use of, these treatment modalities:

Nutrition
Homeopathy
Acupuncture
Botanical Medicine
Hydrotherapy

Naturopathic Medicine can be used to treat illness, but it can also be used to prevent disease. Young and old can benefit from naturopathic treatments, whether it's used to deal with an acute infection or a chronic condition. You too can benefit from seeing a naturopath.
