Naturopathic Medicine

WHAT IS

Naturopathic
Medicine?

Naturopathic Medicine is a system of care that combines evidence-based assessment of your health concerns with holistic/natural approaches to treatment. 

Naturopathic Doctors complete a 4-year undergraduate degree followed by a 4-year Naturopathic medicine program. 

In your first 90-minute appointment your Naturopathic Doctor will complete a comprehensive assessment of your overall health including specific health concerns as well as a full body and lifestyle assessment. Naturopathic doctors can do physical examinations (including pap exams), and order lab work. We will use lifestyle changes, dietary support, and vitamins/supplements/herbs to address your health concerns. 

Our goal is to treat the whole person, not just a singular symptom or disease. We will seek to find and address the root cause of your concerns.

Land Acknowledgement

Juniper Naturopathic Clinic operates on nistawâyâw, within Treaty 8. This is the traditional territory of the Cree and Dene people and the unceded homeland of the Métis. We recognize that the colonization of this land by settlers like us was and continues to be unjust and harmful. 

We would like to honour the role Indigenous people have taken on for thousands of years as environmental stewards and we would like to show the same respect for the environment. We acknowledge that much of Naturopathic Medicine’s understanding of herbal medicine and other treatments is owed to the knowledge and wisdom of Indigenous peoples.

We are grateful for the opportunity to practice medicine, learn, and work on this land.
