Naturopathic doctors (NDs) treat patients as
individuals by addressing the physical, environmental, lifestyle, attitudinal,
and emotional aspects of health. This allows Naturopathic doctors to find and
treat the cause of the disease using natural, non-invasive therapies. Allopathic
doctors generally address and treat the symptoms of disease and use
pharmaceutical therapies or surgery.
