About CNPA
Honoring our history, moving toward our future
Connecticut has protected the practice of naturopathic medicine since 1920, and was one of the first jurisdictions to issue licenses to naturopathic doctors in the United States. We are proud of our heritage as pioneers in the advancement and protection of naturopathic medicine, and work diligently to honor our history while shaping our future.
Naturopathic physicians across a Connecticut are as diverse as they are many. While many doctors follow traditional medicine principles, also known as “vitalism,” which emphasize the healing properties of lifestyle medicine, nutrition, botanical medicine, and/or homeopathy, others have integrated additional branches of medicine, and provide higher-intervention modalities and cutting-edge treatments.
Join us, and help shape the future of naturopathic medicine in Connecticut! Thanks
