Hi, it depends on what province you are in. Here's a link that will help you determine if it can be claimed.

Naturopathic Treatment is eligible in AB, BC, MB, NS, and ON. And is not eligible in NB, NL, NT, NU, PE, QC, and YT. 

The Hospital or the medical practitioner has to be licensed under their province. 

 

Please refer to the CRA link to check the eligible medical treatments:

I hope this was helpful
