The field of naturopathy was founded on the basis of understanding how disease can affect the body in a natural way without the intervention of modern scientific approaches to disease. Naturopathy seeks to remedy diseases using a holistic approach – this means that the entire picture – both the cause and the effect, of disease, are taken into consideration. Often times, this includes the diet of the patient. Often, naturopathic doctors are able to identify certain food allergies and intolerance, and are able to provide a safe alternative to a person’s diet to alleviate their symptoms.Visit San Diego naturopath for more details.
One major part of the practice of naturopathic medicine includes the use of health care providers who perform a comprehensive exam including laboratory tests, x-rays, and other relevant exams including blood, tissue, urine, and hair analysis. These tests are designed to identify possible conditions including nutritional deficiency, nutritional deficiencies, viral or bacterial infections, and other conditions including congenital heart disease, kidney problems, and tumors. Once these conditions are identified, they are then treated. Common treatments include supplements, vitamin/mineral therapy, homeopathic remedies, stress management, lifestyle changes, and surgery. Sometimes, other conditions may need to be treated such as chronic fatigue syndrome, fibromyalgia, hypothyroidism, or chronic obstructive pulmonary disease.
Another part of the practice of naturopath includes the treatment of patients who have no known medical conditions. Examples of patients who may be treated this way include senior citizens who suffer from dementia, and persons who have been injured or rendered invalid by some accident or injury. In many cases, the services of a naturopath are not covered by insurance, and so payment must be made out of pocket. If you are interested in these services, you should make an appointment with a naturopath to determine if this is the right choice for you. Once you’ve determined that it is, you will then be able to receive the highest quality care.
