In Canada, although naturopathic medicine and its
practices got introduced in 1920 and the laws
regulating it were enacted in Ontario by 1925, it

gaining popularity.

medicine, this article will discuss what it
actually is and how it can benefit all of us.

Definition

and remedies are used for the body to heal on its

patients, naturopathic doctors may use a number
of healing modalities such as herbal and
nutritional supplements, counseling, acupuncture,
