Naturopathic medicine uses natural, non-toxic therapies to prevent and treat disease. The body has a profound ability to heal itself and naturopathy promotes this process. Dr. Ciuferri-Wansacz educates patients in ways to achieve optimal health. The cause of disease is treated rather than just the symptoms. When the whole person is taken into account true healing is experienced. Treatments are individualized and formulated with the patient's best interest in mind.
