7 Reasons Why to Consider Seeing a Naturopath

As health care practitioners, naturopathic doctors have extensive training in illness prevention, diagnosis, and treatment. With this training, they can help manage a wide variety of diseases and health concerns. 👨‍⚕️

A naturopathic doctor may also be able to help with illness prevention by teaching you about healthy diet choices and lifestyle habits. 🍎

Here, we highlight 7 reasons why you should consider seeing a naturopath for the maintenance of your health and well-being:

1. Holistic Approach

Naturopaths use a holistic approach to health to address the causes of your health concern. Their treatment modality takes into account diet, stress levels and personal history. 📝

2. Diet And Lifestyle Modification

The types of food you eat should reflect on your individual needs without neglecting the importance of physical activity. 🥦

3. Disease Prevention

Improving your health and preventing illnesses may occur through a wide range of methods, such as diet, lifestyle modification, supplements (if necessary), and naturopathic medicine. 💧

4. Chronic Diseases Management

In order to practice disease management, naturopaths may conduct the following: a naturopathic medical history interview, physical examination, diagnosis of illness (lab testing), and a treatment plan. This plan may include diagnostic procedures with nutraceutical (herbs, vitamins, supplements ) for acute or chronic health conditions. 🌿

5. Integrative Functional Medicine

When naturopaths also practice functional medicine, patients and naturopaths work hand-in-hand in planning and adhering to a natural treatment and lifestyle changes. Consequently, a patient’s participation empowers them to consider how their everyday life choices have an impact on health. 👍

6. Detoxification

Detoxification may encourage the elimination of toxins, replenish nutrients, and foster disease prevention. A naturopathic doctor may offer a natural detox program to patients as a naturopathic solution. There are many ways to detoxify the body and a naturopath can help you understand how your body responds. ✅

7. Food Sensitivities

Some food sensitivities may not be accurately identified through traditional medical skin allergy tests; instead, they may manifest as other symptoms such as skin rashes, stomach cramps, etc. A naturopathic doctor will analyze the foods that might cause these reactions and recommend avoiding allergenic substances if possible. This may be accomplished with an IgG food antibody assessment lab test. 🔬
