2. How does Naturopathic & Functional Medicine treat diseases?
Naturopathic and Functional Medicine is a medical approach that focuses on understanding the root cause of diseases rather than merely treating the symptoms. It combines traditional medicine with modern science, emphasizing natural and holistic treatment of the body, with the goal of achieving long-term healing rather than just temporary symptom relief.

A naturopathic physician focuses on a personalized and holistic approach to promote natural health and healing, rather than merely treating symptoms. This is done by educating patients about healthy lifestyle practices and encouraging their active participation in improving their own health.
