Naturopathic Medicine, Naturopathic Doctors, Naturopathic Videos & Transcripts

Naturopathic medicine works to get to the root of the problem - to treat the underlying cause of disease, rather than just the symptoms. It also believes that we all have the power to heal ourselves using our own natural defenses to treat illness and pain.

A naturopathic doctor will assess social, spiritual, physiological, psychological, lifestyle and environmental factors to come up with a comprehensive treatment plan for a patient. A naturopathic physician may use a number of natural treatments to help a patient, including homeopathic remedies, acupuncture, nutritional counselling, supplements and more.

What Do Naturopathic Physicians Do?

Naturopathic medicine is preventative natural health care, which focuses on treating the underlying cause of the health concern. Naturopathic doctors are trained to prevent, diagnose and treat a lot of acute and chronic concerns using natural remedies, which have fewer side effects.

When you first visit a naturopathic physician, he or she will take your medical history and may do a physical exam or blood test for further diagnosis. Some conditions that naturopathic medicine can treat include acute conditions such as headaches, colds and flu, and infections, chronic conditions such as migraines, gastrointestinal disorders and gynecological problems, physical trauma to the body, and mental and emotional problems such as depression and anxiety.

Homeopathy is a type of holistic treatment that is a central part of naturopathy. Homeopathic medicine was first standardized in the 18th century, and all non-toxic treatments come from natural sources to stimulate the patient's body to rid itself of disease. One of the main branches of naturopathic medicine is lifestyle counselling, which involves modifying certain habits and behaviours to become healthier. A naturopathic doctor will help you assess risk factors due to your lifestyle and diet and ask you a series of questions to come up with a customized treatment plan.

Some naturopathic doctors use traditional Chinese medicine to treat patients. Many conditions can be treated with acupuncture.
