Rhode Island Association of Naturopathic Physicians The Rhode Island Association of Naturopathic Physicians (RIANP) is the professional association for A law has to be passed to allow a profession to be licensed.

The Rhode Island Association of Naturopathic Physicians (RIANP) is the professional association for naturopathic doctors in Rhode Island! We are committed to increasing access to naturopathic medicine and improving the health of Rhode Islanders. Currently, we are working toward licensure at the state level. Licensing is a function of the Rhode Island state legislature. Naturopathic licensure bills have been submitted in 2014 - House Bill 8070 and Senate Bill 2874. Hearings have taken place in both the House Health, Education, & Welfare Committee (Thursday, May 1st) and the Senate Health and Human Services Committee (Tuesday, May 6th) to discuss these bills. Both hearings went very well, with the main opposition coming from the Rhode Island Medical Society (which represents MDs). We are currently amending the bills to clarify certain points the committee members made. The goal is to have each committee approve these bills, so that they can go to the whole House and Senate for a vote. Licensing Naturopathic Doctors in Rhode Island would

(1) Ensure that every Naturopathic Doctor in RI has been trained at an accredited school of Naturopathic Medicine to safely treat patients and refer when necessary. (2) Allow Naturopathic Doctors in RI to perform and order tests and labs that help diagnose disease and monitor progress. (3) Allow Naturopathic Doctors in RI to treat patients according to how they were trained. (4) Give Rhode Islanders more options for choosing health care providers who support their health and wellness.

Naturopathic medicine is a distinct system of medicine that skillfully combines natural therapeutic traditions with modern science to restore and optimize health.

Naturopathic medicine:
🌿 Treats the Root Cause
🌿 Prioritizes Non-invasive Approaches
🌿 Integrates Holistic and Conventional Diagnostics and Interventions

🩺 Licensed Naturopathic Doctors (NDs) are trained to provide primary care and to diagnose and treat patients of all ages, genders, and conditions. During a naturopathic medical visit, a comprehensive biological, psychological, and social history is obtained. Physical examination and diagnostic tests may be included in order to reach an accurate medical diagnosis. Therapeutic interventions may include clinical nutrition, botanical medicine, homeopathic medicine, physical medicine, behavioral medicine, and lifestyle recommendations.

Naturopathic medicine has helped patients of all ages manage both acute and chronic conditions. Naturopathic medicine is effective in helping patients with conditions like chronic pain, gastrointestinal problems, infertility, cardiovascular issues, and more.

The naturopathic tool kit is vast!

Experts are recommending against using hormone replacement therapy to prevent chronic disease after menopause.
