Brought to the United States from Germany, during
the 1800s, naturopathic medicine includes
therapies and remedies that are meant to heal the
body naturally, with the help of nature.
4
Its main intension is to focus on the root cause
of the illness and then helping the body to bring
out its innate properties to heal on its own.
5
Unlike surgery or chemotherapy, naturopathic
solutions are non-invasive and are defined as the
healing power of nature. However, in certain
states and locations, a naturopath can carry out
minor surgeries.

Difference between Naturopathic Medicine and
Holistic Medicines
1. Naturopathic medicine is an entirely separate
discipline of medicine where the practitioner is
trained to cure the root cause of a disease with
the help of natural remedies.
7
On the other hand, holistic medicine is practiced
by professionals who are trained with
conventional medicines and bears a holistic
philosophy centering on mind-body-spirit.

2. While naturopathy involves mainly natural
remedies and therapies such as herbs, acupuncture,
massage, exercises and etc. to restore health
holistic medicine includes conventional medicines
along with functional, alternative, and
naturopathic medicine to achieve holistic health.

3. Patients who prefers alternatives to
conventional medicine will find solace with
naturopathic medicine as it is a complete
different process of nature care with focus on
natural interventions.
10
This might not be the case with holistic medicine
as it also includes conventional medicines along
with other forms of treatment.

• 5. Naturopathic medicine is based on the
  following principles
• Do No Harm
• The Healing Power of Nature
• Identify and Treat the Causes
• Doctor as Teacher
• Treat the Whole Person
• Prevention

14

• Holistic medicine is based on the following
  ideologies
• Every individual has a self-healing power from
  nature
• A patient is a person, not a disease
• Disease/s can be healed with team approaches

15

• To heal completely, all aspects of the patients
  life needs to be addressed.
• Successful treatment means curing the illness
  with its root and not simple to ease the symptoms.

16
Thus it can be noticed that, although, there are
a lot of overlaps between holistic
and naturopathic medicine, still both of them are
different in their own ways. 
17
However choosing the best healthcare is
completely an individual choice, depending on the
symptoms and preferences.
