The aim of naturopathic medicine is to provide treatment to the person as a whole. This involves aspects of the mind, body, and spirit, aiming to heal the root causes of the problem, and not just stopping the symptoms. With the help of a naturopath, you can discuss your personal health plan, as this procedure focuses on prevention and education. You may be given tips on stress management, exercise or diet.
