14. What is Naturopathic medicine?

Naturopathic medicine is a holistic way of looking at the body and treating its symptoms to address health issues. Naturopaths will take a full medical history, carry out functional testing, and consider whole health in diagnosing conditions. It involves traditional medicine, complementary therapies, and natural treatments.

15. What are Naturopathic doctors?

Naturopathic doctors is not a term used in Australia. Overseas, Naturopathic doctors or naturopathic medical doctors earn ND or NMD degrees from a naturopathic medical school. Naturopathic doctors or Naturopathic physicians hold a medical degree, with a specialty in Naturopathy.

A professional practising in Australia is called a Naturopath or a Naturopathic Practitioner. They focus on complementary therapies to support health, but are not medical doctors. Naturopaths often work in private practice and aim to improve individual health through natural medicine. To become a Naturopathic Doctor, a Naturopath would need to study a separate medical degree – it would be more often in Australia to be called an Integrative GP or a Functional GP, however, rather than a Naturopathic Doctor.

16. What are Naturopathic Physicians?

Naturopaths in Australia are not typically physicians or doctors. They practice in complementary medicine and Western herbal medicine. They do not perform minor surgeries but may focus on lifestyle counselling and dietary advice. Evidence-based approaches ensure safe and effective care.

17. What ongoing professional development must Naturopaths carry out?

Naturopaths at Brisbane Livewell Clinic are members of professional associations and engage in ongoing professional development, scientific research and considerations of public health, and clinical practice in complementary medicine and nutritional supplements. This ensures they provide evidence-based care and maintain the highest standards for public health. The ongoing professional development helps Naturopaths stay updated with the latest evidence-based practices in natural medicine. Practitioners adhere to a minimum standard of education and training to deliver effective health care. In turn, their associations often provide support and member benefits.
