Naturopath
Doctors of Naturopathic medicine (ND's), recognize the value of our natural world in assisting the healing process. Not only do ND's utilize substances that originate in nature, they understand the interconnectedness of our body, our environment and our lifestyle on total health. NDs typically approach care by utilizing the most natural, least invasive and least toxic therapies. Naturopathic doctors recognize and harness the body’s inherent wisdom to heal itself in order to guide patients to wellness and total health.
