Naturopathy
Like allopathic doctors (MDs), NDs complete four years of postbaccalaureate education before earning their licenses to practice. An ND's clinical training focuses on preventing disease, promoting health and prescribing therapies designed to stimulate the body's natural healing processes. For thousands of years, traditional healers have offered Nature's own prescriptions to their patients: wholesome foods, homeopathic remedies, plant-based medicines and spiritual practice.
Today, naturopathic doctors blend this ancient healing wisdom with modern scientific knowledge to help their patients attain optimal health in mind, body and spirit. Naturopathic philosophy stresses the individuality of each patient and the importance of treating the root cause of a condition, not just dealing with its symptoms. Naturopathic doctors design individual plans of treatment by conducting extensive patient interviews, carefully reviewing personal and family medical history, performing a thorough physical examination, and ordering any indicated laboratory tests.
