Overview of Naturopathic Medicine

Naturopathic medicine, which emphasizes a holistic and individualized approach to healthcare, is gaining popularity across North America. Nearly 40% of Americans reportedly utilize some form of integrative medicine, and there are currently over 8,500 licensed naturopathic doctors in practice. These practitioners differ from conventional medicine by focusing on factors such as diet, lifestyle, and environmental influences in their assessments. By spending significant time with patients, typically over an hour for initial consultations, naturopathic doctors aim to identify the underlying causes of health concerns rather than just treating symptoms.
