Does a naturopathic physician treat conditions through medication?
Naturopathic physicians focus on the root cause of disease, which for chronic disease is up to 80% (or more) due to diet and lifestyle. Addressing diet and lifestyle must happen if one wants to age healthily. Medication can be prescribed in some states by naturopathic physicians, and medication can be and is used in conjunction with diet, lifestyle, supplements and herbals when a patient needs immediate support, has waited too long for diet and lifestyle changes alone to be of benefit in early stages of treatment, or is noncompliant to suggested changes to health.
