Naturopathic Medicine

Naturopathic Medicine: How it
Works
The past 30 years has seen an
extraordinary increase in consumer demand for safe, effective and
cost-effective natural healthcare. Naturopathic medicine has emerged
as the health care profession best suited to meet this demand. |
|
Although it almost disappeared in the
mid-twentieth century because of the popularity of drugs and
surgery, naturopathic medicine now offers safe, effective natural
therapies as a vital part of the health care systems of North
America the twenty-first century.
Naturopathic physicians are trained in the art and science of
natural healthcare at accredited medical colleges. Integrative
partnerships between conventional medical doctors and licensed NDs
are becoming more available. This cooperation makes more effective
therapies available to consumers. It increases patient
satisfaction in their relationships with their care providers.
More people are recovering their health by adding naturopathic
medicine to their health care options.
Naturopathic medicine is a system of medicine
that assists in the restoration of health by following a set of
specific rules. A basic assumption is that nature is orderly, and
this orderliness is designed to result in ongoing life and well
being. This dependable orderliness is believed to be guided by a
kind of inner wisdom that everyone has. This inner wisdom can be
assisted to return a person to their best balance by naturopathic
treatments. |
Education
A Licensed naturopathic physician (N.D.) attends a
four-year graduate level naturopathic medical school and is educated
in all of the same basic sciences as an M.D. but also studies holistic
and nontoxic approaches to therapy with a strong emphasis on disease
prevention and optimizing wellness. In addition to a standard medical
curriculum, the naturopathic physician is required to complete four
years of training in clinical nutrition, homeopathic
medicine, botanical medicine, psychology, and counseling (to encourage
people to make lifestyle changes in support of their personal health).
A naturopathic physician takes rigorous professional board exams so
that he or she may be licensed by a state or jurisdiction as a primary
care general practice physician. |
