What is Naturopathic Medicine?
Naturopathic medicine is a primary health care system that combines modern scientific medical knowledge with traditional and natural forms of medicine to treat the underlying cause of illnesses. It is the art and science of supporting the body’s natural healing process by removing any obstacles to the process. It also emphasizes treating the whole patient – the physical, mental and emotional – instead of focusing on a symptom.
The principles of naturopathy treatment emphasize the promotion of health and the use of therapies that minimize any harmful side effects, the prevention of disease, patient education and individual responsibility.
Naturopathic services are beneficial to patients as a prevention-oriented medicine, a valid alternative to elective surgery and drug therapies which cause side effects, and as a therapy for chronic diseases that conventional medicine has no effective treatment for. Furthermore, naturopathy treatment used in conjunction with conventional medicine can lead to more long-term solutions.

Most extended health care plans cover a naturopathic doctor. Some plans also include lab or diagnostic testing coverage. You can clarify coverage by calling your extended health carrier. For individuals with a Health Spending Account, visits to a naturopath are 100% covered.
