Naturopathic Doctors integrate treatment approaches from the following areas:
Clinical Nutrition
Clinical Nutrition examines the relationship between diet and health. Naturopathic Doctors are trained to recognize individualized dietary needs and train patients as to how to use food as medicine. Emphasizing the importance of a balanced, minimally processed, whole foods diet, recommendations may additionally include nutritional supplements such as vitamins, minerals, essential fatty acids, enzymes, probiotics and other nutraceuticals.
Botanical Medicine
The use of Botanical/Herbal Medicine for healing dates back to the beginnings of civilization and is the foundation of modern pharmacology.
