Naturopathic doctors are guided by the philosophy of Naturopathic Medicine in that they use interventions only when necessary. But, when it is necessary and appropriate to use an intervention, Naturopathic doctors have many modalities (therapies) from which to choose. We may be trained to use botanical medicine, clinical nutrition and dietary counseling, traditional Chinese Medicine and acupuncture, homeopathy, hydrotherapy, and physical medicine among other modalities.
