for the natural side of medicine, these are the professionals you need
When we talk about natural medicine, it seems that we lump the buzz words into one category. In actuality, there are differences in naturopathic, holistic and alternative.
Naturopath
Naturopath doctors are physicians licensed in a different board. They treat a variety of diseases and conditions using natural pharmacology. That doesn’t mean their methods are less effective because most of our medicines are derived or synthesized from plants. What it means is they know how to use these substances properly and safely. They treat the body as a whole whereas traditional medicine tends to be more segmented and specialized.
Holistic
Holistic practitioners aren’t physicians but their approach is also more natural. Going with a holistic practitioner alongside your traditional medicine doctor is advisable.
Alternative
Alternative practitioners are similar to holistic practitioners. The slight difference between the two is the methods they incorporate – alternative tends to be more off label uses of HBOT or using red light whereas holistic would be Reiki massage and essential oils. However, all three practitioners have a lot to offer and we recommend having all of them in your corner along with your traditional medical team for a well rounded and whole body approach to recovery.
