Doctor of Naturopathic Medicine

What is a Naturopathic Doctor?

A Naturopathic doctor (N.D.) receives graduate level training as a general practitioner, specializing in the use of natural therapies. In some states, ND’s serve as primary care physicians and are able to prescribe pharmaceutical drugs. However, naturopathic philosophy dictates that natural therapies be first employed. The naturopathic doctor is also trained to seek the “cause” of an illness, rather than merely treat the symptoms. This may be accomplished through the use of conventional diagnostic tools such as blood tests, PAPs, ECG evaluations, etc.

ADD/ADHD Allergies Arthritis Asthma Autoimmune diseases Cancer Chronic fatigue Colds/Flu Depression Diabetes Digestive problems Eczema Epilepsy Fibromyalgia
