WHAT IS HYDROTHERAPY?

Hydrotherapy, also known as water therapy, uses water to treat the body. It can be used in many forms including baths, wraps, constitutional hydrotherapy, compresses, heat packs, etc. Herbs can be paired with water therapies to help create a greater positive impact. One example of this is tea (adding an herbal sachet to boiling water). The temperature of the water, length of time used, and the type of therapy used all have varying effects on the body. If you have ever had a muscle ache and used a hot towel on it or taken a good soak in the bath to help relax it, then you have used water therapies.

Ever wonder what it actually takes to become a naturopathic doctor? The path to becoming an ND is a demanding one. It starts with a bachelor's degree and pre-med coursework, followed by a four-year, in-residence medical program with a minimum of 4,100 hours of classroom and clinical training. Online degrees aren't accepted, because hands-on experience isn't optional.
The curriculum covers the same biomedical sciences you'd expect from any medical program: Anatomy, biochemistry, diagnostic sciences, evidence-based medicine, plus four years of specialized training in:
Clinical nutrition
Botanical medicine
Acupuncture
Homeopathic medicine
Physical medicine
Counseling
By their third and fourth years, ND students are already diagnosing and treating patients in clinical settings and many schools are now introducing that hands-on experience even earlier.
After graduation, NDs must pass the NPLEX, a rigorous two-part licensing exam, before they
can practice. Licensure is currently available in 26 U.S. jurisdictions—with more states working
toward it.
NDs can also specialize in areas like oncology, pediatrics, gastroenterology, endocrinology, and psychiatry, bringing whole-person care to focused areas of medicine.
Thoroughly trained. Comprehensively prepared.

At the heart of naturopathic medicine are six guiding principles that serve as a foundation of how NDs practice and care for every patient.
1. Healing Power of Nature: Your body has an innate ability to heal. NDs work with that intelligence, not against it.
2. Identify & Treat the Cause: Symptoms are signals. NDs dig deeper to find and address the root issue.
3. First, Do No Harm: The gentlest effective approach, always.
4. Doctor as Teacher: Empowering patients with knowledge to take charge of their own health.
5. Treat the Whole Person: Body, mind, emotions, environment — all of it matters.
6. Prevention: Because the best treatment is the one you never need.
These principles shape every appointment, every treatment plan, every patient relationship. That's what makes naturopathic care different. Learn more: https://bit.ly/4dlXe4p
