Naturopathy

Naturopathy—also called naturopathic medicine—is a medical system that evolved from a combination of traditional healing practices and health care approaches popular in Europe during the 19th century.

People visit naturopathic practitioners for various health-related purposes, including primary care, overall well-being, and treatment of illnesses.

​

What Naturopathic Practitioners Do

Naturopathic practitioners use many different treatment approaches. Examples include:

• Dietary and lifestyle changes

• Stress reduction

• Herbs and other dietary supplements

• Homeopathy

• Manipulative therapies

• Exercise therapy

• Practitioner-guided detoxification

• Psychotherapy and counselling.

Some practitioners use other methods as well or, if appropriate, may refer patients to conventional health care providers.

​

Education and Accreditation of Practitioners

Education and licensing differ for the three types of naturopathic practitioners:

• Modern Traditional naturopaths complete a 4-year, graduate-level degree at one of Australia's naturopathic medical schools accredited by the Australian Government. They must also fulfill annual continuing education requirements.

• Traditional naturopaths, also known simply as “naturopaths,” may receive additional training in a variety of ways after attaining their Government Accredited degree. Training programs vary in length and content and are usually courses that are supported by representative bodies.

• Other health care providers (such as physicians, osteopathic physicians, chiropractors, dentists, and nurses) offer integrative allopathic support to enhance the  functional medicine approach naturopaths apply to their practice.,

​

Tell all your health care providers about any complementary or integrative health approaches you use. Give them a full picture of what you do to manage your health. This will help ensure coordinated and safe care.
