About Me
Hello! I'm Dr. Salma Elhamdan, a licensed ND and internationally trained OBGYN physician. Now practicing in Canada, I combine conventional medical knowledge with holistic, patient-centered care, and am fluent in both Arabic and English.
My approach to treating an illness is to understand its root cause rather than simply manage symptoms. In particular, I have a special interest in chronic conditions and women's health. In my practice, I use a variety of natural therapies, including herbal medicine, nutritional supplements, acupuncture, cupping, physical medicine, local massage therapy, homeopathy, and hydrotherapy to support the body's innate ability to heal.
I look forward to serving you!

Rheumatoid Arthritis
Rheumatoid arthritis is a chronic autoimmune condition that causes joint pain, swelling, and stiffness, often affecting daily movement. In ND (Naturopathic Doctor) care, the focus is on supporting the body through personalized nutrition, lifestyle changes, and natural therapies to help manage inflammation. If you're living with rheumatoid arthritis, an ND approach may help improve your comfort and overall quality of life.
Osteoarthritis
Osteoarthritis is the most common form of arthritis and occurs when the protective cartilage in the joints gradually wears down over time. It can cause joint pain, stiffness, and reduced mobility, often affecting the knees, hips, hands, and spine. Naturopathic (ND) care focuses on personalized nutrition, movement strategies, and lifestyle support to help promote joint health and improve daily comfort.
Multiple Sclerosis
Multiple Sclerosis is a long-term condition in which the immune system disrupts nerve communication, often leading to fatigue, tingling, and balance challenges. Naturopathic (ND) care takes a holistic approach, using personalized nutrition, lifestyle support, and natural therapies to help reduce symptom impact. For those living with MS, working with an ND may provide additional support alongside conventional treatment to enhance overall well-being.
Osteoporosis
Osteoporosis is a condition that causes bones to become weaker and more fragile, increasing the risk of fractures. It often develops gradually and may not cause symptoms until a bone breaks. Naturopathic (ND) care emphasizes nutrition, physical activity, and lifestyle strategies that support bone health and help individuals maintain strength and mobility as they age.
Depression
Depression is a mental health condition that can affect mood, energy, motivation, and overall quality of life. Symptoms may include persistent sadness, loss of interest in activities, changes in sleep, and difficulty concentrating. Naturopathic (ND) care takes a holistic approach by addressing nutrition, lifestyle factors, stress management, and overall wellness to support emotional well-being alongside conventional care.
Anxietys
Anxiety is a common condition characterized by excessive worry, nervousness, or feelings of unease that can interfere with daily life.

Naturopathic (ND) care focuses on personalized lifestyle support, stress management techniques, and nutritional strategies to help promote emotional balance and resilience.
Panic Disorder
Panic Disorder is a condition marked by recurring and unexpected panic attacks that can cause intense fear and physical symptoms such as chest tightness, dizziness, and rapid heartbeat. These episodes may occur without a clear trigger and can affect daily activities. Naturopathic (ND) care aims to support overall well-being through lifestyle guidance, stress management, and individualized health strategies that complement conventional treatment.
Schizophrenia
Schizophrenia is a complex mental health condition that affects how a person thinks, feels, and perceives reality. Symptoms may include changes in thinking, perception, behavior, and emotional expression. Naturopathic (ND) care focuses on supporting overall health through nutrition, lifestyle optimization, and holistic wellness strategies while working alongside conventional medical care.
Autism
Autism Spectrum Disorder is a developmental condition that affects communication, behavior, and how individuals experience the world. Naturopathic (ND) care focuses on personalized support through nutrition, lifestyle guidance, and gentle, evidence-informed approaches to help promote overall well-being. Families exploring options for autism may consider working with an ND to complement existing care and support daily functioning.
ADHD
Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) is a neurodevelopmental condition that can affect attention, focus, organization, and impulse control. Symptoms may present differently in children and adults and can impact school, work, and daily responsibilities. Naturopathic (ND) care emphasizes individualized nutrition, lifestyle support, and healthy habits to help promote overall cognitive and emotional well-being.
Herniated Disc
A herniated disc occurs when the soft center of a spinal disc pushes through its outer layer, potentially irritating nearby nerves. This can lead to back pain, numbness, tingling, or weakness in the arms or legs. Naturopathic (ND) care may include lifestyle recommendations, movement support, and strategies aimed at promoting comfort, mobility, and overall musculoskeletal health.
Crohn's Disease
Crohn's Disease is a chronic inflammatory bowel disease that can affect any part of the digestive tract, causing symptoms such as abdominal pain, diarrhea, fatigue, and unintended weight loss. Symptoms often occur in cycles of flare-ups and remission. Naturopathic (ND) care focuses on personalized nutrition, digestive health support, and lifestyle strategies to help individuals manage symptoms and improve quality of life.
Ulcerative Colitis
Ulcerative Colitis is a chronic inflammatory condition that affects the lining of the large intestine and rectum. Common symptoms include abdominal discomfort, urgent bowel movements, diarrhea, and rectal bleeding.

Irritable Bowel Syndrome
Irritable Bowel Syndrome is a common digestive condition that can cause abdominal pain, bloating, and changes in bowel habits like diarrhea or constipation. Symptoms often come and go and may be influenced by diet, stress, and gut sensitivity. Managing IBS typically involves personalized dietary changes, stress management, and lifestyle adjustments to help improve comfort and digestion.
Helicobacter Pylori Infection
Helicobacter pylori (H. pylori) is a bacterial infection that can affect the stomach lining and contribute to symptoms such as indigestion, bloating, nausea, and stomach discomfort. In some cases, it may be associated with ulcers or ongoing digestive concerns. Naturopathic (ND) care may help support digestive health and recovery through personalized nutrition and lifestyle recommendations alongside appropriate medical treatment.
Gout
Gout is a type of arthritis caused by a buildup of uric acid crystals in the joints, leading to sudden pain, redness, and swelling—often in the big toe. Flare-ups can be triggered by certain foods, alcohol, dehydration, or other health factors.
Constipation
Constipation is a common digestive condition characterized by infrequent bowel movements, difficulty passing stool, or a feeling of incomplete evacuation. It can be influenced by factors such as diet, hydration, stress, medications, and physical activity levels. Naturopathic (ND) care focuses on identifying contributing factors and supporting healthy digestion through personalized nutrition, hydration, and lifestyle strategies.
