How is a licensed naturopathic doctor different from other doctors?
Licensed naturopathic doctors (N.D.) follow a different health-care philosophy than any other kind of doctor. N.D.s are driven to find the root cause of disease and offer safe, effective therapies that are designed specifically for each individual client. Naturopathic philosophy emphasizes preventative medicine and a healthful lifestyle — one that both combats and averts illness while educating clients to take an active role in maintaining health. The goal is to give the client not just “the absence of disease,” but an empowering feeling of health and wellbeing that comes from being a part of one’s own healthcare.
