Scope of Practice

Botanical Medicine...many plant substances are powerful medicines that are safe
and effective.  Where single chemically derived drugs may address only a single
problem, herbal medicine can address a variety of problems simultaneously.  
Their organic nature makes most botanicals compatible with the body's own
chemistry; hence, they can be gently effective with few toxic side effects

Homeopathy...a powerful system of medicine that is more than 200 years old;
uses highly diluted substances to cure illness according to the principle "like
cures like."  Homeopathic medicines are able to promote deep healing on a
physical and mental/emotional level.

Clinical Nutrition...a cornerstone of naturopathic medicine, the therapeutic use of
food and nutritional supplements to maintain health and treat illness

Physical Medicine...includes naturopathic manipulation of the muscles and spine,
hydrotherapy, and a number of massage and bodywork techniques.

Natural Pharmaceuticals...in licensed states, N.D.'s may prescribe
pharmaceuticals of natural origin such as natural hormones and certain
antibiotics.
