Are There Different Types of Naturopathic Doctors #780

[GothOrganics]

I knew that different states let naturopaths do certain things while others don't. The freedom to play around with medical knowledge is something naturopaths in some states have the advantage of. I dunno that I consider a reiki master a naturopath tho.

@llatoya85 homeopathic doctors use homeopathic remedies (a remedy with the essence of an herb, mineral, etc while a naturopathic may use homeopathy they might also use whole herbs, tinctures, polltices, etc.

@GothOrganics Thanks a lot, I am considering going to one of these doctors.

She is absolutely on-point with her differentiation. I started out going to the 4-year medical school for naturopathic medicine and after a year of pure sciences, switched over to traditional naturopathy because it was more in line with my personal philosophies. Thank you so much for doing this show! BTW, there are 15 states that license naturopathic physicians; the remaining 35 states have legislation being pushed for licensure/regulation by the entities that support naturopathic physicians.

I have a question: what is difference between isopathic/homoeopathic doctor and naturopathic doctor?

[PurnaBhat]

Had no clue after all this time of seeing one myself! Thanks.

Oh, and no I didn't know there were different types! I'm actually hoping to pursue naturopathy as my career path, but I definitely don't want to be learning about pharm aceuticals in order to become certified...I'd much rather learn about the healing effects by plants and herbs that these drugs are trying to mimic UNnaturally...

hmmm =/
