Sometimes people call naturopathy grads “doctors,” but it really depends on rules where they live.
Naturopathy is all about natural remedies and helping your body heal itself. People who finish naturopathy programs are often called naturopathic doctors or naturopathic physicians, but technically they're not always “doctors.” rules for using that title can change depending on place and laws there.
