Naturopathic Medicine is a distinctive natural approach to health care and healing that recognizes the integrity of the whole person.  There are many factors that can impact one's health.  These factors include: lifestyle and diet, environmental factors, genetic,  physical (metabolic) imbalances, stress, and emotions.  

The emphasis is placed in the treatment of disease through the stimulation, enhancement, and support of the inherent healing capacity of the body.  Focus is placed on the underlying cause of the disease or illness, not the symptoms.

The treatment modalities chosen are to work with the patient's own vital force (energy) in addition to addressing the underlying cause of illness.
