Do no harm by using safe, natural, non-invasive treatments such as herbs, nutrition and homeopathy. Treat the whole person. Health is complex mix of physical, emotional, spiritual and social factors. Prevention is the best cure. The job of the naturopath is to teach people how to keep themselves from getting sick by adopting a healthy lifestyle.
Naturopaths are the general practitioners of natural medicine.
They offer safe, natural remedies that can be applied to cases ranging from pediatric to geriatric. Since you're entrusting your health to an N.D., you should feel comfortable in their professionalism and training. Working with this person requires you to be partners in your health. The N.D. will direct you to natural ways to improve your health, but you must make the effort to change and manage your lifestyle. Also, be sure the N.D. you choose is well-educated.
