Naturopathic medicine is based on the belief that the human body has an innate healing ability. Naturopathic doctors (NDs) teach their patients to use diet, exercise, lifestyle changes and cutting edge natural therapies to enhance their bodies’ ability to ward off and combat disease. Naturopathic physicians craft comprehensive treatment plans that blend the best of modern medical science and traditional natural medical approaches to not only treat disease, but to also restore health.
Homeopathy is a system of medicine in which minute doses of specially-prepared natural substances are used to stimulate the innate healing capacity of the body. Its central premise is the idea that “like cures like” – meaning that a substance that produces symptoms in a healthy person will cure those same symptoms in a sick person. Christopher Johnson, ND, explains the history and background of this popular form of natural medicine.
As the face of health care continues to change with the increased use and popularity of "natural", "holistic", "alternative", "complementary" medicine, the focus of attention is now moving more towards what is being termed "integrative" medicine. Paul Epstein, ND explains how mind-body integrative medicine combines the best of conventional and alternative therapies.
