Naturopathic cancer care is the application of naturopathic medicine to oncology and cancer treatment.

Naturopathic physicians bring their innovative knowledge, perspective, and training to cancer research and treatment in order to provide patients with the best experiences and outcome.

Naturopathic medicine is an alternative approach to healthcare that administers the use of natural therapies for treating the whole person and encouraging a non-toxic healing process. Naturopathic doctors treat patients with a variety of health conditions, including various types of cancer.

Why Choose a Naturopath who focuses on cancer?

As part of the intake process, some patients may choose to meet with a naturopath  in order to better explore treatment options. After the patient’s health history is reviewed recommendations for a variety of natural therapies will be made.

Naturopathic cancer treatment utilizes several therapy methods including fasting, meditation, acupuncture, herbal and botanical supplementation, homeopathic treatment, and other holistic practices.
