Top Rated Naturopath Q&A

A naturopathic clinic is a medical facility that combines traditional and natural forms of medicine with modern scientific knowledge. Naturopathic clinics stimulate the natural healing power of the body and treat the underlying cause of disease, rather than the symptoms. Symptoms of disease are seen as warning signs of the abnormal functioning of the body, as well as lifestyle habits that negatively impact one’s health. Naturopathic medicine treats disease as a process rather than as its own entity. Naturopathic treatments are chosen based on the individual patient and can treat both acute and chronic conditions.

Naturopathic clinics offer a wide range of services. With a focus on the body’s natural ability to heal itself, many naturopathic clinics offer treatments aimed to enhance the inherent healing properties of the body to promote faster healing times and quicker recoveries.

Naturopathy and homeopathy are very distinct and utilize different methodologies and philosophies. For example, naturopathy uses a wide range of treatments, such as herbal medicine, lifestyle, nutrition, natural supplements, hydrotherapy, counseling, and physical medicine. Whereas homeopathy’s primary form of treatment is using a diluted amount of a substance that in greater quantities, would produce similar symptoms of the condition being treated. The philosophies differ significantly, as naturopathy follows the Six Principles of Naturopathy, namely:

• First, Do No Harm (Primum non nocere)
• The Healing Power of Nature (Vis medicatrix naturae)
• Identify and Treat the Causes (Tolle causam)
• Doctor as Teacher (Docere)
• Treat the Whole Person (Tolle totum)
• Prevention (Praevenic)

Conversely, homeopathy’s philosophy is “Like cures Like” and is believed that, if it can cause those same symptoms in a healthy person, remedies can resolve symptoms in a sick person. Perhaps the biggest difference between naturopathy and homeopathy is the practice requirements, as naturopathic doctors must be trained and accredited at a naturopathic medical school and receive a degree and license. Homeopathy, however, does not require a medical license to practice, although it is sometimes implemented by doctors to treat patients.
