Naturopathic Medicine
Naturopathic Medicine is a distinct primary health care profession which is regulated in Ontario. Naturopathy emphasizes prevention, treatment and optimal health using methods and substances that balance and stimulate the self-healing process.
The Naturopathic Doctor views the individual as a whole, where symptoms of disease are seen as warning signs of improper functioning of the body. The primary goal is to treat the underlying cause of the disease.
Doctors of Naturopathic Medicine are teachers, who educate, empower and motivate the individual to assume personal responsibility for his/her health.
