What Is Naturopathic Medicine?
How does it differ from seeing a medical doctor?
While medical doctors are often focused on diagnosing and treating diseases with medications or surgeries, Naturopathic Doctors take a more integrative and preventative approach. They spend considerable time getting to know you, your health history and your lifestyle. They use a variety of diagnostic tools, including blood work, urine, stool, saliva tests, hair analysis and food sensitivity testing, to gain a comprehensive understanding of what might be causing your health issues.
For example, if you’re experiencing high blood pressure, the naturopathic doctor would not only look at your cardiovascular system but also explore potential underlying causes like lacking of certain vitamins or minerals that might be contributing to malfunctioning of your organs causing nutritional deficiencies, or hormonal imbalances which as a result create situation that your blood pressure increaase. If you’re struggling with low iron, chronic fatigue, or difficulty losing weight despite trying various diets, a Naturopathic Doctor might conduct a detailed nutritional analysis, check for metabolic disorders, or assess thyroid, stress, sex hormonal functions to uncover hidden imbalances.
If you have low energy, you may have low iron and continuously take supplements. It may be that the aborbtion is a problem as you might be taking incompatible medicine, laxative or excessive fibers that prevent absorption. Naturopath will assess your diet, digestive system, any sensitivities, inflammation or leaky gut that prevent iron to be absorbed. The problem might be hidden also in hormonal disbalance and excessive blood loss with your menstrual cycle. Once these are addressed, your iron level would normalize.
Naturopaths also offer support for anxiety, insomnia, depression, high cholesterol, overweight, headaches, arthritis and many other conditions by considering factors like diet, lifestyle, and your emotional well-being. They use herbal medicine, acupuncture, nutritional supplements, and lifestyle coaching to help you achieve a healthier, more balanced state.

Why choose Naturopathy if you are already under medical care?
Even if you’re under the care of a medical doctor, incorporating Naturopathic Medicine can provide a more holistic view of your health. Naturopaths work alongside your existing healthcare providers to ensure that the natural treatments they recommend complement any conventional treatments you’re receiving. This integrative approach not only helps manage your symptoms but also addresses the underlying causes of your health issues.
For instance, if you’re continuously needing to increase the dosage of your prescription medications—whether for blood pressure, thyroid, cholesterol, or anxiety—a Naturopathic Doctor helps by identifying and addressing the root cause of these issues. This could potentially reduce your reliance on medications and minimize the side effects that often accompany long-term pharmaceutical use.

How Does Naturopathy Work?
It is based on few principles:
- Body has the ability to heal itself. By removing the cause of the malfunctioning, the body is able to takes over and heals itself, just like it heals by itself if you cut yourself. It does not need any medication, nor creams. So, unless it gets exposed to dirt, too much water or you keep pulling the parts apart preventing the ends to stay together. Hence, the osteopathic practitioner uses her manual skills to detect areas of congestion and dysfunction and then by applying osteopathic tools, based on the physiology of your body, it helps your body to restore its own healing capacity.
- All body parts are connected and interrelated, hence they have an influence on each other. Often, the pain you might feel in one part of the body very often is caused by a problem somewhere else. For example, if you have sciatica problem, you may have the pain all the way down your leg, but the problem is actually created by the herniated disk compressing your sciatic nerve coming out of your low back. Or, people having heart attack frequently experience pain in their left shoulder, down the arm or even in their jaw.
- Structure and function are reciprocally interrelated, which means that if you have pressure on one organ or any body part, its function will be impaired, sooner or later. Osteopathy searches for those areas and creates space for the organ to resume its natural motion and is able to receive adequate nutrients via unobstructed blood vessels and nerve impulse from unobstructed nerve which leads to restoration of its function. For example, if you have a problem, and you keep taking medication for it, but the organ which is supposed to receive the benefit is undernourished due to the pressure on the blood vessels and nerves, it will not be able to receive the full benefit, just because it can’t reach its destination.
- The body is a unit, and the person represents a combination of body, mind and spirit. Osteoapthy takes into consideration all aspects of your presence.In optimal conditions, the body is able to take care of itself, to compensate for minor injuries and to self heal. In some instances, the injury is greater than the body’s ability to adapt or heal. The pain is usually a first sign, the only way your body can tell you that is no longer capable of compensating and needs your attention and correction.By using osteopathic principles we work on restoring its balance where body regains its inherent ability to heal itself.
