You need to make sure the Naturopathic Doctor has proper training, because only twelve states and four provinces license the practice of naturopathic medicine: Alaska, Arizona, British Columbia, Connecticut, Hawaii, Kansas, Maine, Manitoba, Montana, New Hampshire, Ontario, Oregon, Saskatchewan, Utah, Vermont, and Washington. Puerto Rico and the U.S. Virgin Islands also have licensing laws for naturopathic doctors. In all of the other states anyone can legally call themselves a N.D., even without any training.
So you need to be careful. If you live in a state that does not license N.D., and then make sure the doctor has attended one of these accredited colleges. Council on Naturopathic Medical Education (CNME) Accredited Schools.
