Living a naturopathic lifestyle without even knowing naturopathic medicine existed, Dr. McHugh avoided antibiotics and other medication until truly needed and found more natural treatments first. She always believed the human body possessed the innate ability to heal itself and that everyone should be treated as individuals.

The practice of naturopathy includes modern and traditional, scientific, and empirical methods. Naturopathy is a distinct health care profession, emphasizing prevention, management, and optimal health through the use of natural therapeutic methods and substances that encourage individuals’ inherent self-healing process. Naturopathic doctors focus on prevention and root cause identification of acute and chronic imbalances to understand, restore, and establish optimal health.
