What Is Naturopathic Medicine?
Naturopathic doctors are medically trained doctors who combine the best of natural and modern medicine to treat chronic disease in the safest, least toxic, and most effective manner. It is a common sense and science-based approach to healthcare with a treatment strategy focused on finding and removing the root cause of disease instead of merely controlling symptoms with prescription drugs.

Approach and Philosophy
Naturopathic doctors are medically trained doctors who combine the best of natural and modern medicine to treat chronic disease in the safest, least toxic, and most effective manner. It is a common sense and science-based approach to healthcare with a treatment strategy focused on finding and removing the root cause of disease instead of merely controlling symptoms with prescription drugs.
Most modern doctors don’t have the time to correct the real causes of most chronic diseases and therefore, they are focused on suppressing symptoms with the use of modern drugs.
Naturopathic Medical doctors have more freedom to practice medicine outside the prescription drug model of today’s modern doctors, allowing for safer and more effective treatment plans to treating and prevention of chronic diseases. The Naturopathic model of healthcare allows for more personalized care and more comprehensive treatment options.
It is important to distinguish licensed Naturopatic Doctors from lay practitioners who may be referred to as naturopaths but who do not have accredited naturopatic medical training. Although seemingly confusing, it is easy to verify the difference. California Naturopathic Doctors are regulated and licensed by the Naturopathic Medicine Committee via the Department of Consumer Affairs. Consumer information and licensee verification can be found at www.naturopathic.ca.gov.
