Naturopathic Doctors are primary care practitioners that focus on determining and treating the underlying cause of disease.
Naturopathic Doctors have a unique advantage of being trained to utilize both ancient diagnostics (Traditional Chinese Tongue and Pulse Diagnosis, nutritional assessments) and modern, scientific laboratory diagnostics such as bloodwork.

At Riviere Naturopathic Health Clinic, a number of therapies are utilized to help prevent and treat disease:

• Nutritional Counseling and Supplementation
• Chinese Medicine and Acupuncture
• Botanical (Herbal) Medicine

Naturopathic Medicine is also useful in conjunction with traditional medical treatment for most health conditions.

Principles of Naturopathic Medicine:

• First, do no harm
• Act in co-operation with the healing powers of nature
• Address the fundamental cause of disease
• Heal the whole person through individualized treatment
• Teach the principles of healthy living and preventative medicine
