Naturopathic medicine is a holistic approach to healthcare that focuses on treating the whole person - mind, body, and spirit. It combines modern scientific knowledge with traditional healing practices, such as herbal medicine, nutrition, acupuncture, and homeopathy.
Naturopathic Doctors (NDs) aim to identify and address the root causes of illness, rather than just treating symptoms. They emphasize prevention, lifestyle changes, and the use of natural therapies to promote long-term health and wellness. Naturopathic medicine is often used alongside conventional treatments to provide a more comprehensive and personalized approach to healthcare.

To become a Naturopathic Doctor (ND), candidates must first complete an undergraduate degree, typically in a science-related field. They then attend an accredited naturopathic medical school, where they undergo four years of training. This includes courses in medical sciences, naturopathic therapies like herbal medicine, acupuncture, nutrition, and clinical training. After graduation, NDs must pass the Naturopathic Doctors Licensing Examination and are regulated by the College of Naturopaths, ensuring ongoing standards and education.
