Naturopathic medicine blends centuries-old natural, non-toxic therapies with current advances in the study of health and human systems. A Naturopathic Doctor (ND) is a primary care general practitioner trained as an expert in natural medicine. Naturopathic medicine concentrates on whole-patient wellness - the medicine is tailored to the patient and emphasizes prevention and self-care. Naturopathic medicine attempts to find the underlying cause of the patient's condition rather than focusing solely on symptomatic treatment. For example, a food allergy or an environmental factor might cause congestion - a naturopathic doctor would focus diagnosis and treatment on these causal factors.
