homeopathy vs. naturopathy
A homeopathic doctor uses one form of natural treatment for his/her
patients, homeopathy. A naturopathic doctor (ND) is qualified in a wide
range of natural therapies including homeopathy. ND's receive four
years of full time postgraduate training in basic medical sciences and
natural treatment and are licensed health professionals. Naturopathic doctors often combine homeopathic treatment with acupuncture, nutrition, herbs, supplements, hydrotherapy and Traditional Chinese medicine for optimal results.


















Homeopathy vs. Naturopathy
Homeopathy is a system of medicine that assesses the whole person as an individual. A Homeopath will treat the person, not the disease. For example, 10 people can all have arthritis, however, the homeopath will prescribe a different homeopathic remedy to each of those people.
