When I tell people I meet that I am a licensed Naturopathic physician, this remark usually precipitates a look of confusion. The bewildered expression is then followed by “What is a Naturopathic physician?” I go through my condensed explanation of Naturopathic medicine, and I can almost bet that the next question that will be asked is “Who can benefit from naturopathic/ alternative care?” My answer is simple, everyone!
Licensed Naturopathic physicians are highly trained in alternative medical therapies ranging from hydrotherapy to nutritional support (and everything in between). Simple conditions, like the common cold, to chronic diseases, like diabetes and hypertension, can all be addressed with naturopathic medicine. People looking to simply improve their energy to those facing serious medical conditions can be helped with naturopathic medicine. Young to old, healthy to sick, primary care to adjunct care, naturopathic medicine can be used. Even those who have been told by professionals in the traditional medical system that there is nothing that can be done, alternative care may provide answers.
Do not wait till the New Year to begin your resolution of improving your health; start your resolution today by visiting a Naturopathic physician and discovering for yourself all the wonderful ways you can benefit from alternative care.
