Perform invasive procedures

Classical Naturopaths do not give injections, draw blood, or perform surgeries of any type. If the naturopath is licensed in a field such as medicine and chiropractic, they may combine allopathic treatment modalities with naturopathic principles.

Exceptions: It is not uncommon for medical doctors to integrate naturopathic procedures and modalities with conventional (allopathic) medicine. Medical doctors prefer to advertise their services through terms such as “alternative medicine” or “integrative medicine.” In this context, invasive procedures may be performed according to the mindset of the physician and the needs of the patient.

Diagnose Disease

Although Naturopaths do not diagnose diseases, they may perform evaluations and analysis to determine the root cause of health disorders.

Disease Treatment

Naturopaths do not treat disease, as their priority is on  achieving good  health and providing education to the client. In turn, the client will have the necessary knowledge to create and maintain an internal as well as external environment that is supportive of good health.

Drug and Pharmaceutical Prescriptions

Naturopaths do not prescribe pharmaceuticals or drugs, and other harmful chemicals like chemotherapy.
