Naturopathic Medicine

Naturopathic medicine is an integrative, holistic approach to healthcare that focuses on strengthening, supporting, and enhancing the body’s ability to regain and maintain health.

 

Naturopathic medicine treats the whole person (physical, mental, emotional, and spiritual factors). The practice addresses the causes of disease and focuses on prevention and wellness.

As part of our Medical program, Quest offers Naturopathic medicine emphasizing on prevention, treatment, and optimal health through the use of therapeutic methods that encourage individuals’ inherent self-healing process. The practice of naturopathic medicine includes modern and traditional, scientific, and empirical methods.
