Naturopathic medicine gives patients an alternative, holistic approach to health care. Naturopathic doctors fulfill a need that emphasizes natural, drug-free care for patient conditions such as illness, chronic pain, injury and other ailments. They may provide remedies that include herbs, acupuncture, nutritional counseling and other alternative therapies. Becoming a naturopathic physician requires you to take courses and earn your degree from a respectable and accredited institution.
