Naturopathic medicine is a distinct primary health care system that blends modern scientific knowledge with traditional and natural forms of medicine. It is rooted in the philosophy of treating the whole person—mind, body, and spirit—and focuses on identifying and addressing the root cause of illness, rather than merely managing symptoms.

Naturopathic doctors (NDs) are trained to assess, diagnose, and treat a wide range of health concerns using a variety of evidence-informed therapies. These may include clinical nutrition, herbal medicine, acupuncture, lifestyle counselling, physical medicine, and more. The goal is to support and stimulate the body’s innate ability to heal itself, while promoting long-term wellness and disease prevention.
