What to Expect
A naturopathic consultation is typically longer than a conventional medical appointment. The naturopath takes a full health history, may use functional tests (urine, blood, or bioresonance), and develops an integrated plan that may include diet, supplements, herbal medicine, hydrotherapy, and lifestyle modification. Follow-up is essential to the process.
