What is Naturopathic Medicine?

What is Naturopathic Medicine?


Naturopathic medicine is a comprehensive, prevention-based, and natural approach to improving health and treating illness. Simply put, naturopathic medicine is a system of medicine using “natural” therapies to diagnose and treat disease and maintain good health. The primary goal of naturopathic medicine is to address the causes of illness, rather than simply treat or suppress symptoms.

Naturopathic Medicine manages a broad range of health conditions affecting every type of person of all ages. It exists to treat the whole person without harm through the healing power of nature by finding the root cause of minor illnesses and preventing them from developing into more serious chronic and degenerative diseases. Naturopathic Medicine offers education and training to patients and counsels them into healthier lifestyles.

Naturopathic doctors require minimum of 3 years of pre-med undergraduate education, plus 4 years of full-time study at an approved college of naturopathic medicine. Naturopathic doctors obtain comprehensive and rigorous training in an educational structure similar to that of medical doctors but also study traditional natural therapeutics emphasizing lifestyle changes, disease prevention, and optimal wellness. With this said, and in line with treating the whole person, NDs are recognized as primary healthcare physicians by the British Columbia government. They perform physical examinations, laboratory testing, gynecological exams, nutritional and dietary assessments, metabolic analysis, and allergy testing. The four-year program incorporates basic medical science courses, clinical sciences, and naturopathic therapies, as well as problem-based approaches to health issues, and 2000 hours of supervised clinical experience.

Following the completion of their program, NDs must successfully complete Naturopathic Physicians Licensing Examinations (NPLEX) in order to qualify for licensing in British Columbia. NPLEX is the standard examination used by all regulated provinces and states across North America.

The goal of a naturopathic doctor is to understand the patient and the factors that impact on his/her life. A very intensive history is taken from the patient (eliciting information about physical, mental, emotional, and spiritual health), and a complaint-oriented physical exam will be performed. The naturopathic doctor may then suggest further specialized testing. With the patient’s input, a personalized treatment plan will be proposed to help facilitate achieving their health goals.
