- Is Naturopathic Medicine covered by the Ontario Health Insurance Plan (OHIP) in ON?

- Both Naturopathic Doctors (NDs) and Medical Doctors (MDs) are healthcare providers, but their approaches differ.

Naturopathic Doctors emphasize prevention and natural therapies to support the body's self-healing abilities, often addressing the root cause of illness. They may use clinical nutrition, botanical medicine, lifestyle counseling, and homeopathy. Collaboration between these practitioners can offer comprehensive care, with regulation and scope varying by province.
- Are Naturopathic treatments safe?
- When provided by a qualified and licensed/registered Naturopathic Doctor, treatments are generally very safe.

Open communication about your health and other treatments ensures safety and effectiveness.
