What exactly is a Naturopath?
Naturopaths are practitioners who strive to establish and maintain health and promote wellness. They are practitioners who look beyond and beneath the symptoms of disease to the root cause of the disease. Once the root cause of the disease is established the patient is then treated using a wide variety of safe and effective therapies and medications and is advised on lifestyle changes that may need to be made.
How does it differ from orthodox medicine?
Naturopathic medicine primarily searches for and treats the underlying causes of diseaseand promotes health.
