Frequently asked questions about Naturopathy; How is Naturopathy different from what my medical doctor does? The main difference is that instead of diagnosing and treating an illness, naturopaths work on restoring balance to the person. This is accomplished by removing toxic burdens and allergies, while supporting the healthy function of organs and systems with nutrition and homeopathy. This way, you are working on the underlying causes of why you are not feeling well instead of just making a symptom feel better. We LISTEN to you and UNDERSTAND your health concerns and issues. Then we find and handle the SOURCE of your health problems instead of just masking a symptom. Is it safe? The general answer to this question is yes. For young children and people on prescription drugs, certain herbal remedies would not be recommended. This is why it is best to work with a naturopath instead of picking out things yourself at a health food store. With our help, you won't have to worry about drug interactions or creating bad side effects. Will it help _________ (fill in the blank)? Anyone can benefit from restoring balance to his or her body!
