Naturopathic medicine is a distinct and comprehensive system of primary health care that uses natural methods and substances to support and stimulate the body’s self healing process.” (A Consumer’s Guide to Naturopathic Medicine published by the State of California’s Department of Consumer Affairs September 2009.) Naturopathic doctors are trained in a wide variety of complimentary and alternative therapies including: herbal and homeopathic medicine, clinical nutrition and diet; vitamins, amino acids, minerals, enzymes and nutraceuticals; physical medicine such as massage, bodywork, exercise therapy and hydrotherapy; counseling and behavioral therapies; and health and lifestyle counseling.
