ABOUT NATUROPATHIC MEDICINE

Naturopathic medicine is a distinct form of medicine. It emphasizes prevention, treatment and optimal health through the use of therapeutic techniques aimed at supporting the individual’s innate processes of healing, as well as removing any obstacles to that healing process. The practice of naturopathic medicine includes combining modern and traditional, scientific and empirical methods.

Since a treatment is focused on treating the individual, not the diagnosis, naturopathic medicine can offer a spectrum of recommendations: from herbs and natural supplements, to diet changes, to pharmaceutical medications - whichever is most appropriate.

Naturopathic doctors are licensed in the state of New Hampshire. Dr. Murray holds license #103 and maintains good standing by maintaining yearly continuing education.
