What is Naturopathic Medicine? Naturopathic medicine is a branch of medicine that seeks to maintain, improve, and restore health by enhancing the healing power of the body and nature. Naturopathic medicine promotes healthy living and aims to be preventative as well as restorative. The basis of naturopathic medicine is that all individuals are unique and that all aspects of a person can effect health and disease. Naturopath's believe that disease does not occur without a cause and promoting health for each individual is of primary concern. Naturopath's believe that dealing with the underlying cause (not just the symptom) of ill health will allow the body to revert to a higher state of wellness and help prevent future disease.
