Medical Symptoms:
Conditions Treated Using Naturopathic Medicine
Naturopathic medicine can treat a wide variety of health concerns and medical symptoms - from pediatric to geriatric, from physical to psychological. Naturopathic medicine's philosophy, approach and the natural therapies it uses sets it apart from other forms of health care.
It is more important to know what sort of person has a disease than to know what sort of disease a person has.
