What a gift to find an integrative health doctor in Indianapolis... generally we'd only find someone like Dr. Tom in New York or California, places where integrative health is more mainstream than in the midwest. Add to that, Dr. Tom combines Eastern and Western philosophies and methodologies, truly understanding that good health encompasses a mind, body, spirit approach. He is both doctor and teacher.

A naturopath is not generally covered by health insurance but Dr. Tom is very affordable, about $60 per visit. Where I am from in NJ a naturopath is in the $250 per visit range!

Be very careful to understand the difference between a naturopath and a naturopathic doctor. Knowing what these titles and their underlying credentials mean will help you make smart decisions about whether these providers can help you – or not.

There are a handful of careers that are called “naturopathic” that are not physicians or doctors. Smart patients understand the differences between these naturopaths and real, medical, naturopathic doctors.These non-physician naturopathic careers have titles like Holistic Health Practitioner or Naturopathic Practitioner. They study in non-medical schools and universities that may have “nature” or “naturopathy” in their titles. While those schools may have excellent curricula (this is not a judgment on whether that’s true or not), their coursework does not lead to a medical degree that is accepted or licensed as a doctor.

A Naturopathic Doctor or Physician has earned an ND or NMD degree from a naturopathic medical school. He or she studies all the basic medical coursework an MD would study, plus the more “natural” sciences including nutrition, botanical medicine (herbals), and mental health studies like psychology or counseling. ND = Naturopathic Doctor and NMD = Naturopathic Medical Doctor. Both these names and abbreviations mean the same thing. An individual who has earned this title usually chooses the one he or she prefers based on where they received their medical education.NDs may take regular MD board certification exams to become licensed as general practice (primary care) doctors. Their practices are usually integrative, meaning they offer mainstream Western medical advice as well as complementary and alternative medicine (acupuncture, herbal remedies and homeopathy, energy medicine, etc).

Dr. Tom Eyrich has extensive training,education, and experience to deal with many health-related issues in the human body. He is a master-acupuncturist, chiropractor, naturopath, has vast training & knowledge of suppliments, does cranial-sacral, and more modalities than I can remember. He does excellent work with the body's own energy systems and organ health. He can customize the treatment/visit to suit your own personal health issues. I highly reccommend this doctor to anyone who wants to truly see better health naturally.
