Q- Is Natural Medicine safe?

A- The safety record of natural 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 naturopathic doctors are knowledgeable about contraindications between naturopathic remedies and conventional medicines.

Q-How is Natural Medicine different from conventional Medicine?
AConventional and natural medicines complement one another, but they differ in their approach to treatment. Naturopathic medicine assesses the whole person, and focuses on disease prevention and health enhancement using natural therapies and patient education. The role of the Naturopathic Doctor is to teach patients how to better care for their own health.

Q- Do Naturopaths interact with other health professionals?
A- Naturopathic medicine is a coordinated approach to health care. Naturopathic treatments are often combined with conventional medical treatments. It is becoming more common to find Naturopathic Doctors working with other health professionals for the good of the patient. Naturopathic doctors also refer patients to other practitioners including medical doctors, chiropractors, massage therapists and midwives. Naturopathic Doctors are trained to recognize conditions, which are outside their scope of practice and to refer to other health practitioners when it is appropriate to do so. Patients do not require a referral from a medical doctor to make an appointment with a Naturopathic Doctor.

Q- How often do I need to see a Naturopath?
A- Shanie Ruprai' s goal is to understand the patient and all the factors which impact on her/his health. A personal treatment plan/program will then be proposed to help facilitate your healing process. This individualized treatment plan/program is different for every patient.
