FAQ

Naturopathic medicine is a unique complementary healthcare system. It’s philosophy revolves around working with the body's innate healing abilities and addressing the root cause of illness. Rather than viewing symptoms as isolated entities, naturopathic medicine recognizes them as indicators of underlying imbalances and sub-optimal lifestyle patterns. This approach emphasizes the understanding of disease as a process rather than a standalone condition.

Many! Naturopathic medicine centers around assessing the individual and identifying their unique needs to bring them back into their ideal state of health and well being. 

At Inbloom Health it is not in our scope of practice to use pharmaceutical interventions or surgery and therefore this is considered in some cases and we do suggest seeking primary and urgent care when necessary. In these cases Naturopathic medicine serves as a complementary system to healing or a way to rebuild or support in addition to conventional care. 

Primary Health Care providers such as GPs (physicians), family doctors, surgeons, and specialists provide specific disease care. They are essential to your health care team as they treat active disease and urgent and emergent conditions.

Naturopathic Medicine and your Naturopathic Doctor can provide support to your overall healing process whether that be recovery, complementary support for active disease or working toward maintaining good health without medical intervention (prevention).
