The prevailing medical model most of us have grown up in is called Allopathic medicine. Allopathic medicine treats the symptoms manifesting from the disease process. On the other hand, Naturopaths use natural medicines (some that have active natural drugs from food and plants) to activate the body’s own capacity to heal. The focus for a Naturopath is to look at treating the cause and remove interferences to the body’s ability to get back in balance.
