A holistic approach to medicine that addresses the root causes of illness and promotes health and healing using natural treatment options.

​

Naturopathic Medicine is a system of medicine based in the belief that your body has an innate ability to heal itself. It emphasizes prevention, evidence-based treatment options, and optimal health. Naturopathic Doctors treat holistically by focusing on the dynamic function of the body as a whole system - considering how diet, habits, thought patterns, stress, social factors, and environment influence our health and wellbeing. 

​

Naturopathic Medicine uses the healing power of self and natural resources, while integrating standard medical diagnostics. Naturopathic Doctors (NDs) undergo 4 years of post-graduate medical education, focusing on addressing the root cause of disease and addressing concerns with natural treatment methods. NDs in Manitoba are regulated by the Manitoba Naturopathic Association to ensure competent standards of practice and safety to our community. Today more than ever, Canadians are utilizing Naturopathic Medicine within their healthcare practices, in collaboration with conventional medicine to optimize their health.

 

Naturopathic Doctors are trained with a large toolbox of treatment options which includes clinical nutrition, lifestyle counselling, supplementation with natural health products, botanical medicine, homeopathic medicine, hydrotherapy, acupuncture and cupping therapy. Treatment recommendations are based on the most current scientific literature, while incorporating healing traditions that have been passed down through generations. This array of treatment options allows NDs to meet each patient where they are at, and provide knowledge from a variety of medical practices to help each individual reach their goals.
