Naturopathic medicine is a distinct system of primary health care that addresses the root cause of illness or disease. Promoting wellness and prevention, naturopathic medicine harnesses science to unleash nature’s healing power. It uses natural techniques and therapies to diagnose and treat both acute and chronic conditions.

The therapies used in naturopathic practice include:
Acupuncture - homeopathy - what bunk.
