The goals of naturopathic medicine are to navigate and clear the cellular matrix, assist the body to eliminate toxins efficiently and treat the underlying cause of any illness. Naturopathic doctors may use a variety of modalities when treating the whole person, such as, nutrition, herbs, homeopathy, hydrotherapy, physical medicine and lifestyle counseling. Utilizing these natural therapies not only relieves symptoms but assists individuals on their journey to optimal wellness. Every patient has their own story, their own path of wellness.
