What is Naturopathic Medicine?




Naturopathic Medicine is a distinct system of primary care that addresses the root cause of illness or disease and promotes health and healing using natural therapies. Treatment modalities may include clinical nutrition, botanical (herbal) medicine, homeopathic medicine, physical treatments, acupuncture and Asian medicine, and lifestyle counselling. The primary goal of naturopathic treatment is to address the cause of the illness rather than simply treating or suppressing symptoms. While naturopathic care helps to alleviate specific symptoms, NDs are primarily concerned with addressing the root cause of an illness: the focus is more on the "why" of a disease than the "what".

Mind, Body and Spirit Approach to Treatment

It is important to remember that Elvira is not just treating your condition or illness. A holistic approach is necessary, and treatment includes the mind, body and spirit...the WHOLE person. The best results come when the patient takes full responsibility for their health and is ready to make appropriate changes. A naturopathic doctor can give you the tools you need and lead you in the right direction, but ultimately the power to change your life is in your hands!
