If you are an individual looking to improve your mental, emotional or physical health then Naturopathic medicine can help you. Through the healing power of nature, Naturopathic Doctors utilize both western and eastern medicine to assist the body and mind in healing itself holistically. Whatever diagnosis you may have received, a Naturopathic Doctor will empower you with tools and techniques to help regain peace of mind (and body) on your journey.

Naturopathic medicine is firmly grounded in 5 principles:

1. First do no harm

2. Co-operate with the healing power of nature

3. Treat the root cause of disease

4. Heal the whole person through individualized treatment

5. Teach the principles of healthy living and preventative medicine.

Naturopathic Doctors (NDs) have completed 4 years of full-time medical school and are trained as general practitioners. Further to this NDs are educated extensively in each of the following modalities: herbalism, Chinese medicine, homeopathy, nutrition and physical medicine, including chiropractics and massage therapy. Although trained in many of these tools, NDs in Ohio are currently restricted in their practice and cannot diagnose or utilize treatment methods such as acupuncture, massage, and chiropractics. Dr. Samuelson refers to many local qualified practitioners in circumstances where these modalities are indicated.​
