What is Naturopathic Medicine?
Naturopathic medicine is a distinct method of primary health care -an art, science, philosophy and practice of diagnosis, treatment, and prevention of illness. Naturopathic physicians seek to restore and maintain optimum health in their patients by emphasizing nature's inherent self-healing process, the vis medicatrix naturae. This is accomplished through education and the rational use of natural therapeutics.

Homeopathy Primer  Written by Christopher Johnson, ND - What is homeopathy? Homeopathy is a system of medicine in which minute doses of specially-prepared natural substances are used to stimulate the innate healing capacity of the body. Its central premise is the idea that “like cures like” – meaning that a substance that produces symptoms in a healthy person will cure those same symptoms in a sick person. Homeopathy is the second most commonly used form of medicine in the world, behind indigenous herbal medicine (conventional Western or “allopathic” medicine is fourth). Hundreds of millions of people in more than 80 countries use homeopathy, and it is part of the national health system in the UK, Germany, France, India, Pakistan, Sri Lanka, Brazil, and Mexico.
