Naturopathic physicians are clinically trained to be primary care doctors to prevent, diagnose and treat diseases in many licensed states in the United States, and territories. Naturopathic doctors use a more holistic and natural approach following an integrative model of medicine. The practice of naturopathic medicine is a science and an art. NDs respect the body’s ability to heal itself, and also acknowledge a person as a whole entity, including the physical body, mind and emotional aspects. Naturopathic medicine may offer solutions by understanding the root cause of a variety of health conditions and concerns.
If anyone is currently seeking care and/or services from a healthcare practitioner, it is recommended and encouraged to ask (or have access) for their formal professional credentials and qualifications to practice according the law.
Naturopathic doctors are currently licensed in 20 states in United States and US territories, Virgin Islands and Puerto Rico. Please visit the American Association of Naturopathic Physicians webpage for more educational and licensing information.
Natural therapies have been increasing their use and studied over the history. There are many academic institutions and agencies that are supporting and acknowledging their efficacy to minimize, prevent and manage several health conditions. There are many past and ongoing research studies, and existing scientific evidence related to naturopathic and integrative medicine, and their specific interventions and therapies. Please visit the National Center for Complementary and Integrative Medicine of the National Institute of Health for more information on this topic.
