What is a Naturopathic Physician?
Naturopathic medicine (also known as naturopathy, or natural medicine) is a complementary and alternative medicine which emphasizes what it describes as the body's intrinsic ability to heal and maintain itself. Naturopathic physicians prefer to use natural remedies such as herbs, vitamins, acupuncture and foods rather than surgery or synthetic drugs. In Arizona, we have a DEA license and if necessary can prescribe drugs. Naturopathic practice includes many different modalities. Practitioners emphasize a holistic approach to patient care, treating the cause of the problem and may recommend patients use conventional medicine alongside their treatments.
A Naturopathic Physician is one who graduates from an accredited medical school, which is a 4 year post graduate program. They then sit for both a basic science board exam and a comprehensive medical board exam. In some states, there are prescriptive licensing exams and a DEA license is issued to prescribe pharmaceuticals. Dr. Kamin's current licenses are from the state of Arizona.
Dr. Kamin has 18 years in practice as a physician and 25 years in mind body healing. She prefers to prescribe natural substances. As a Naturopath, she believes that the majority of health concerns can be treated effectively without pharmacy prescriptions. By working to stimulate the bodies own innate knowledge of health, she hopes to correct and balance a persons with use of herbs and vitamins.
Dr. Kamin enjoys sports, learning, and teaching others. She resides in Scottsdale, Arizona with her daughter, five dogs, six birds and many other adopted local animals.
