Orthodox Medicine

Orthodox medicine, also known as allopathic or conventional medicine, is primarily based on the biomedical model of health and disease. This model views the body as a complex machine composed of various organs and systems, and disease as a result of specific malfunctions or defects within these systems. Orthodox medicine focuses on diagnosing and treating symptoms and diseases, often using pharmaceuticals and surgical interventions to correct or manage the underlying issue.

Naturopathic Medicine

Naturopathic medicine adopts a holistic approach to health and healing, recognizing the interconnection between the physical, emotional, and spiritual aspects of an individual’s well-being. Naturopathic practitioners view the body as a self-regulating, self-healing organism, and believe that health can be restored and maintained by supporting the body’s natural healing processes. They emphasize the use of natural therapies, such as herbal medicine, nutrition, and lifestyle modifications, to address the root causes of illness and promote overall health.
