IS NATUROPATHIC MEDICINE SAFE?

The safety record for naturopathic medicine is excellent. This makes sense given the emphasis on non-toxic, natural source medicines and gentle, non-invasive treatments. Side effects are rare and NDs are knowledgeable about contraindications between naturopathic remedies and conventional medicines.

In addition, NDs are trained to recognize conditions, which are outside their scope of practice and refer to other health practitioners when it is appropriate to do so.
