Naturopathic medicine is a form of healthcare that focuses on the body’s natural healing abilities, combining traditional practices with modern medical sciences. The philosophy of naturopathic medicine emphasizes disease prevention and overall wellness, promoting health through education and empowering people to be proactive in making decisions regarding their health. The goal of a naturopathic doctor is to address the root cause of disease rather than treating symptoms. Naturopathic medicine is a great way to prevent and manage chronic conditions as well as minimize dependence on prescription medications.

A naturopathic doctor (ND) is a healthcare practitioner who focuses on natural and holistic approaches to health and wellness. They emphasize preventive care, lifestyle changes, and natural therapies to support the body’s healing ability. NDs are licensed and regulated in Massachusetts, they can diagnose and treat conditions, and order lab tests.
