Naturopathic Medicine

Naturopathic medicine is a holistic approach to healthcare that focuses on supporting the body’s natural processes through personalized treatments. It incorporates a blend of modern medical knowledge and traditional practices, offering therapies such as nutritional support or supplementation, herbal remedies, acupuncture, massage therapy, and other therapies. Naturopathic care emphasizes addressing the underlying factors contributing to health concerns while promoting overall well-being and optimal health. Naturopathic doctors are governed by a Canadian college that oversees their practice and ensures that they meet the standards of professional conduct, education, and clinical practice. Each province has its own regulatory body.
