Naturopathic Medicine
WHAT IS IT?
Naturopathic medicine is a kind of medicine designed to treat the underlying cause of disease or illness by supporting the natural healing processes of the body, often through the removal of any obstacles to these processes. It is the prevention, diagnosis, and treatment of physical, mental, and emotional conditions using therapeutics that support or enhance a patient’s overall health.
WHAT TYPES OF TREATMENTS ARE PROVIDED?
