Naturopathic Medicine Week

This week (May 7-May 13) is Naturopathic Medicine Week! Every year, participating naturopathic doctors across Canada offer talks, seminars, mini-clinics, and information sessions to their communities. Some of these talks are about specific diseases, conditions, or modalities (homeopathy, Asian medicine, etc) while other NDs are offering free 15 minute consults. This is a great opportunity for those who are unsure of what naturopathic medicine is and provides you with the chance to find an ND that you can connect with. Many of these events are free so check out a few of them throughout the week! Here are some events you can attend to find out more information about naturopathic medicine:
