“Naturopathic physicians always aim to treat the cause of a condition, be that anxiety, depression, trauma, or other – and in treating the cause, we can offer lasting improvement, or in many cases, cure. NDs also typically spend more time with patients than conventional doctors, and thus are able to establish trust, which leads to healing. Many NDs are also open to other types of activities, such as meditation, yoga, guided imagery, and journaling, all of which are helpful in promoting healing in this patient population.”
