NATUROPATHIC MEDICINE OFFERS A VARIETY OF SERVICES TO SUIT EVERY NEED
Naturopathic medicine is a distinct primary healthcare profession, emphasizing prevention, treatment, and optimal health through the use of therapeutic methods and substances that encourage individuals’ inherent self-healing process. The practice of naturopathic medicine includes modern and traditional, scientific, and empirical methods.
- Do No Harm (Primum non Nocere): Naturopathic physicians choose the most non-invasive and least toxic treatments necessary for each patient.
- The Healing Power of Nature (Vis Medicatrix Naturae): Naturopathic doctors recognize the body’s inherent ability to heal itself.
- Identify and Treat the Causes (Tolle Causam): Naturopathic doctors identify, address and remove the underlying causes of disease.
- Doctor as Teacher (Docere): Educating and supporting patients on personal health management is an important role of an ND. Naturopathic physicians empower patients to take responsibility for their own health. NDs also acknowledge the therapeutic value inherent in the doctor-patient relationship.
- Treat the Whole Person (Tolle Totum): This is a holistic concept that recognizes the body as an integrated whole. Naturopathic doctors treat the patient, not the disease. A naturopathic assessment addresses the nutritional status, lifestyle, family history, physical, mental, emotional, genetic, environmental and social factors in a person’s life.
- Prevention (Praevenic): Naturopathic doctors promote a focus on overall health, wellness and disease prevention.
