What is Naturopathic Medicine?
Naturopathic medicine is a distinct primary health care system that blends modern scientific knowledge with traditional natural forms of medicine. Naturopathic medicine is the art and science of disease diagnosis, treatment and prevention using natural therapies including botanical medicine, clinical nutrition, homeopathy, acupuncture and lifestyle counseling.
The primary goal in Naturopathic medicine is to discover and treat the root causes of disease, rather than just simply treat the symptoms. A Naturopathic doctor treats the physical, mental, emotional and spiritual aspects of health with natural therapies to support and stimulate the body’s innate healing ability. Naturopathic doctors complement and enhance health care services provided by other health care professionals and refer patients to other practitioners when appropriate.

Professional Endorsement:
Dr. Edward Beltran, B. VetMed, PhD, MRCVS
"I wish people would spend the same amount of time, money and effort on their own health as they do for the health of their pets. The naturopathic doctors at Pure Med and I share the same philosophy of Natural Health management in order to avoid serious and expensive ill health issues. Naturopathic medicine provides benefits and approaches that conventional medicine is not well-equipped to provide."
Health Tips
The Health Benefits of Dark Chocolate
Scientists unwrap surprising healing benefits of the cacao bean known by ancient Mayans as the 'food of the gods.'
Antioxidant flavonoids in cocoa (the low-fat component of the bean) lower blood pressure and decrease cholesterol's ability to collect in blood vessels; help protect heart health and reduce risk of stroke.
Eating dark chocolate may also boost brain health and eyesight by improving blood flow to the brain and retina.
The more cocoa is processed by adding sugar and other ingredients to make chocolate products, the fewer flavonoids it contains. Choose chocolate that contains minimum 70% cocoa.
