Naturopathic medicine is a distinct primary health care system that blends
modern scientific knowledge with traditional and natural forms of medicine. It is the art and science of disease diagnosis, treatment and prevention using natural therapies.

A Naturopathic Doctor views the individual as an integral whole, made up of
physiological, structural, psychological, social, spiritual, environmental and
lifestyle factors, all of which influence health. Symptoms of disease are seen as warning signals of improper functioning of the body and unfavorable lifestyle habits.
