Hi! I’m Dr. Ginger Sweetan, a naturopathic doctor here at Naturopathic Rx San Diego. What are some of the advantages of using naturopathic medicine? Well, honestly, it’s hard to pick just a few because there are so very many.
What I can’t say definitively is that we use an integrative, holistic approach, meaning the whole person, approach to evaluation and diagnosis. Because we are able to spend time with our patients and spending that time builds connections and allows us to get to the root cause.
Further, we have so many different modalities to offer. What do I mean by modalities? I mean things like sure we can use pharmaceuticals that were trained to do that, but we can use botanicals nutrition. Counseling, physical medicine, hydrotherapy, biofeedback. We just have so many tools in our toolbox. And those are just some of the many advantages to naturopathic medicine.
