​The Connected Perspective
What is Naturopathic Medicine?
Naturopathic Medicine is a system of medicine/medicines that is deeply rooted in the healing power of nature. Although Naturopathic Medicine incorporates belief systems across several traditions, it recognizes the interdependence and connection of all living things. Naturopathic Medicine prioritizes the most natural, least invasive, and least toxic therapies. It treats the whole person rather than the symptoms or ailments of the individual. Likewise, Naturopathic Medicine focuses on core principles rather than treatment options, while honoring the body's innate healing mechanisms.
