Naturopathic Medicine
A Naturopathic physician is trained as a general family practitioner.

nontoxic therapies that encourage the body’s inherent healing abilities. Some of the treatments
may include nutrition, herbal medicine, homeopathy, counseling, chiropractic manipulation,
physiotherapy, electrotherapy, natural supplementation, and other natural remedies. The principles
of Naturopathic Medicine include 1) The Healing Power of Nature,
2) Identify and treat the cause, 3) First, do no harm, 4) Doctor as teacher 5) Treat the whole person
(physical, mental , emotional, genetic, environmental, social and other individual factors)
6) Preventative medicine, and 7) Wellness. Naturopathic physicians are licensed in the state
of Connecticut following a post-collegiate resident course of at least four years and 4,100
hours of study from a college or university recognized by the State Examining Board.
Acupuncture and Traditional Chinese Medicine

old medical tradition based on clinical observation and treatment. Diagnosis in Traditional
Chinese Medicine and Acupuncture is based on observation, interview, pulse and tongue
diagnosis, and other diagnostic tools. Following an assessment, treatment may involve
acupuncture, cupping, moxabustion, electrotherapy, bleeding, TDP heat lamp, or other
traditional treatments. Acupuncture involves the placement of sterile one time use
disposable needles into specific points on the body. The training required of an
