What is botanical medicine?

Botanical medicine is the practice of using natural plants for healing. So, botanical medicine products may come from a plant’s:

• Leaves
• Flowers
• Bark
• Seeds
• Roots
• Berries

Nearly all parts of plants contain powerful healing substances that naturopathic and homeopathic practitioners use to help patients improve their health and treat illnesses. 

Are homeopathy and naturopathy the same?

They’re similar but not the same thing. The Association of Accredited Naturopathic Medical Colleges (AANMC) explains that homeopathy focuses specifically on healing: using the power of natural plants to boost the body’s recovery power. 

So, homeopathy provides solutions for illnesses, for example, when you have a cold, headache, earache, or other problem.

Naturopathy has a wider focus. Naturopathic doctors focus on the whole person, including the intricate links between body, environment, and lifestyle. So, they connect the dots between symptoms, find root causes, and optimize your well-being as a whole.  

Naturopathic doctors often incorporate homeopathy into their treatment plans, but they use an integrative approach overall, one that can also draw from other alternative healing methods as well as traditional medicine.
