You'll find a number of therapies under the umbrella of naturopathic medicine. You may have heard of some of them. Others may as yet be unfamiliar.

Traditional Chinese medicine (TCM), acupuncture therapy and clinical nutrition were all unfamiliar forms of naturopathic medicine to many not so long ago. This has slowly been changing.

The philosophy of clinical nutrition is that what you eat plays an essential role in your health. Dietary changes and nutritional supplements are used to heal sickness and improve your health.

Traditional Chinese medicine centers on the belief that unimpeded energy flow in the body leads to health. Acupuncture therapy uses needles that are inserted to reduce pain and to free up energy flow.

"Basically, when you consult with a naturopathic doctor, you will not be only briefed about your health condition and how it can affect your body, but also you will be able to learn about the different methods that you can opt for in order to treat your illness or further save yourself from one."
