Naturopathic Medicine: Natural Healing with a Doctor’s Guidance

Naturopathic medicine uses natural treatments like herbs, foods, and exercises to help the body heal itself. The idea is to treat the whole person and prevent illness, rather than just treating the disease. Naturopathic doctors often focus on natural ways to improve health and avoid using medications unless absolutely necessary.

Dr. Ford is a licensed Naturopathic Doctor (ND), which means he has completed medical training and is qualified to treat patients using both traditional and natural methods. A naturopath, on the other hand, may not have the same level of medical education or licensure. Some common treatments include detox programs, herbal medicines, and lifestyle changes aimed at improving sleep, nutrition, and mental health.
