Naturopaths and Allopaths have a lot in common.
An Allopath treats symptoms and rarely treats the cause of imbalance. When you have a headache, take Aspirin. If your period is hurting you and flows heavily take hormones to stop your period or Ibuprofen. Allopaths (western doctors) make people feel better by treating what is bothering them, the symptoms.
Naturopaths do much the same. They use different medicine but usually give you something to make you feel better now.
Holistic doctors treat the cause of imbalance. If you have a headache you could have hormones out of balance, your immune system may be out of balance, or you may have emotions stuck. What a Holistic Doctor will do is find the root of the issue and treat that. It may take longer for your headache to go away, but it won’t come back. The Holistic model says that every cell in our body contains the information for our bodies to function in total health. Holistic doctors use many methods to do this. One very effective method is Applied Kinesiology, muscle testing the body to help find the proper treatments for each individual’s body to find balance for that person.
All doctors try to help, all doctors do their best to help you in the best way that they can.
It is up to you to decide what method is right for you.
