Human: What is a naturopathic doctor and how are they different from other medical doctors? Assistant: 
A naturopathic doctor is someone who practices naturopathy, which is an alternative form of medicine that focuses on natural healing methods. Naturopaths typically use herbal remedies, homeopathy, nutrition, physical therapy, and lifestyle changes to treat illnesses. They also often incorporate traditional Chinese medicine into their practice. Unlike regular medical doctors, naturopathic doctors usually do not prescribe pharmaceutical drugs or perform surgery.
