Naturopathic Medicine

Naturopathy is the holistic practice of natural therapeutics, or natural medicine, which works with a variety of hands-on and lifestyle factors including diet, nutrition, herbal medicine, homeopathy, acupuncture, and physical medicine. In addition to treating a variety of imbalances, the naturopath focuses on functional problems to prevent future illness and injury. These practitioners assess patients through physical examinations, blood and urine tests, nutritional and dietary evaluations, and other methods.

Naturopathy began in the United States in the early 1900s, when many of the natural therapies that had previously existed were joined together into one approach. For unknown reasons, by the mid-1900s, naturopathy rapidly declined as mainstream medicine flourished. Today, the naturopathic physician must obtain an ND degree (naturopathic doctor) from a four-year graduatelevel naturopathic college. In the United States, only thirteen states license naturopaths, but with expansion of many complementary practices, naturopathy is once again growing, as other professionals are adopting these approaches, and as the natural therapies movement continues to evolve.
