Naturopathic medicine is a distinct system of primary health care composed of the art, science, philosophy and practice of diagnosis, treatment and prevention of illness.
Naturopathic medicine combines safe and effective traditional therapies with the most current advances in modern medicine to provide health care for all ages and a broad range of conditions.
Naturopathic medicine is distinguished by the principles which underlie and determine its practice. These principles are based on the objective observation of the nature of health and disease and reexamined in light of scientific advances. Treatment modalities and application are based on these principles and prescribed on an individual basis according the needs of each specific individual.
