approach to healing and usually tries to avoid
surgery and the use of drugs. As much as
possible, naturopaths try to only use
noninvasive treatments. Most practitioners of
naturopathy can be found in the United States
and Canada.

5. Naturopathic physicians are free to use the
principles of naturopathy within the context of
mainstream medical practice and they often

primary care providers and they can do so
because their training includes basic
diagnostic tests and procedures.

patients vaccines and do
not approve of antibiotics.

physicians are licensed in
United States and Canadian
provinces. Their official
designation is ND or NMD. To
use this designation,
naturopathic doctors must
pass examinations given by
the profession. A candidate
must graduate from an
accredited college of
naturopathy.

10. As a rule, naturopathy is a discipline that
believes in the body's ability to heal itself
without a great deal of intervention, and
therefore, this type of doctor is attractive to
people who don't want to endure a lot of
invasive procedures. Many naturopaths are
very well respected by their patients and their
community.
