Naturopathic medicine is a type of alternative medicine, but they are not one in the same. Alternative medicine may also include Chinese medicine, homeopathy, massage therapy, chiropractic medicine, etc. Naturopathic medicine is a distinct practice in which one must attend an accredited naturopathic school and pass both basic science and clinical board exams. Only then is a person able to practice as a Naturopathic doctor.
