Naturopathic medicine is a unique and comprehensive form of primary healthcare, which integrates modern scientific diagnosis and treatment with the art of traditional healing. It is a distinct healthcare profession built on a patient-centered approach that emphasizes prevention, treatment, and optimal health through the use of a variety of therapeutic interventions.
