An ND focuses on the holistic healing system and is similar to an Ayurvedic or homeopathic doctor. A natural healer helps the body to restore balance by facilitating biological healing processes. Private clinics, hospitals, and community health centers are familiar places where naturopathic physicians practice. Students who wish to become NDs must complete a 4-year program from a naturopathic medical school with high academic standing.
Nurse practitioners are trained to handle various medical conditions and can provide care to individuals and families. Many common conditions can be treated with naturopathic medicine, including allergies, chronic pain, digestive problems, hormonal imbalances, respiratory problems, and many more.
