About NHAND
The New Hampshire Association of Naturopathic Doctors (NHAND) is an organization comprised of New Hampshire state licensed Naturopathic Doctors, or ND’s.
NHAND was founded in 1988 with the intention of advancing the philosophy and art of Naturopathic medicines. In 1989, with just two members and a licensing law drafted by the local law school, the proposed Naturopathic Doctors license was sent to the New Hampshire state government. After many revisions, trials, and tribulations, the law was finally passed in 1995, and instituted in 1996. Since that time, the NHAND has expanded to more than 30 members and the governing board has licensed 65 Naturopathic Doctors in the state of New Hampshire.
Founded upon a holistic philosophy, naturopathic medicine combines safe and effective traditional therapies with the most current advances in modern medicine. Naturopathic medicine is appropriate for the management of a broad range of health conditions affecting all people of all ages.
Naturopathic physicians are the highest trained practitioners in the broadest scope of naturopathic medical modalities. In addition to the basic medical sciences and conventional diagnostics, naturopathic education includes therapeutic nutrition, botanical medicine, homeopathy, natural childbirth, classical Chinese medicine, hydrotherapy, naturopathic manipulative therapy, pharmacology and minor surgery.
