Notes from our Naturopaths The Modern Naturopath You may well ask why consult with a Naturopath instead of a doctor, well the answer is that it is quite relevant to use both! The modern naturopath covers many, many subjects before they graduate. These include multiple subjects on herbal medicine, nutritional medicine, human diseases, anatomy and physiology, biochemistry, pharmacology, iridology and others ! This schooling gives the Naturopath excellent skills in treating the root cause of conditions and restoring optimal health rather than just a band aid drug. Doctors are greatly skilled in diagnostic and investigative medicine and trauma care, but do not have the time to work on diet or lifestyle and are not educated on how specific nutrients or herbs can give profound results in health care.  The current system of health care is more that of disease management. We tend to go and see someone when we are unwell, not when we want to stay well. That is probably the greatest difference in treatment plans, a Naturopath will attempt to treat the underlying cause of the condition and restore correct function, where a doctor will prescribe medications that help you deal with the symptoms. Conditions a Naturopath can help with;  Allergies Depression Anxiety Learning problems Behaviour issues Sleep problems Digestive problems Lack of energy Pain IBS, IBD Period pains Infertility Cancers and chemotherapy support Post surgery support Diabetes Weight loss Circulation problems Immune enhancement
