Find clear answers to common questions about naturopathic care and holistic healing.
What is naturopathic medicine & how is it different from conventional medicine?
Naturopathic medicine (also called naturopathy) is a holistic approach that views the body as having an innate ability to heal itself. Emphasizing prevention and treating the underlying causes of disease, naturopathic care integrates natural therapies (e.g., herbs, nutrition, acupuncture) alongside conventional diagnostics. By contrast, conventional (allopathic) medicine often focuses more on diagnosing disease with advanced tools (e.g., imaging, blood tests) and treating symptoms primarily with pharmaceuticals and surgery.
How is a Naturopathic Doctor trained?
Licensed NDs complete a 4-year, graduate-level medical program accredited by the CNME. Training includes medical sciences, clinical diagnosis, nutrition, botanical medicine, counseling, and pharmacology. They pass board exams (NPLEX) to become licensed.
Are Naturopathic Doctors (ND’s) real doctors?
Yes. NDs hold a doctoral degree in naturopathic medicine and are licensed in many U.S. states and Canadian provinces. They are qualified to diagnose and treat illnesses.
What conditions can naturopathic medicine help with?
NDs treat Chronic conditions such as: digestive disorders, autoimmune issues, hormonal imbalances, thyroid conditions, blood pressure, the impact of stress on the body, cortisol levels, menstrual issues, urinary disorders, prostate health, menopause, physical medicine issues
nutritional guidance, healthy lifestyle strategies
stress, fatigue, mild anxiety/depression
cold/flu support, minor injuries
we also partner with conventional physicians for integrative treatment plans
What are the core principles?
First Do No Harm: Use the least invasive treatments.
Identify and Treat the Cause: Address root causes.
Doctor as Teacher: Educate patients.
Prevention: Focus on lifestyle and risk factors.
Healing Power of Nature: Support natural healing.
Can NDs prescribe medication?
In some states, licensed NDs can prescribe certain medications, including controlled substances, depending on local laws.
What should I expect at my first visit?
Your first visit usually lasts about 60 minutes and includes a detailed intake, physical exam, and possibly lab tests. Follow-up visits refine your personalized treatment plan.
