Frequently Asked Questions
13. What is naturopathic
medicine?
Naturopathy originated in Europe, but it also includes ancient and
modern therapies from other traditions. Naturopathy attempts to
help the body heal itself, and naturopaths consider a person's
physical, mental, emotional, genetic, environmental, and social
circumstances when evaluating treatment. The emphasis is on
supporting health rather than fighting disease.
