What Is Naturopathic Medicine?

Naturopathic medicine combines modern scientific knowledge with traditional and natural healing therapies. At Rooted Family in Kanata, our licensed Naturopathic Doctors (NDs) take a holistic approach to health—addressing the root causes of illness rather than just the symptoms.

Our Naturopathic Doctors are trained in clinical nutrition, botanical medicine, homeopathy, acupuncture and traditional Chinese medicine (TCM), as well as lifestyle counselling, hormone support, and disease prevention. The goal is to restore balance in the body and empower patients to take an active role in their wellness journey.
