Naturopathic medicine attempts to find the underlying cause of the patient’s condition rather than focus solely on symptomatic treatment.For example, congestion might be caused by food allergy or an environmental factor - a naturopathic physician would focus diagnosis and treatment on these causal factors.Naturopathic physicians cooperate with all other branches of medical science referring to other practitioners for diagnosis or treatment when appropriate.
