About Naturopathic Medicine:


Naturopathic medicine is based on the belief that the human body has an natural healing ability. Naturopathic doctors (NDs) teach their patients to use diet, exercise, lifestyle changes and cutting edge natural therapies to enhance their bodies’ ability to ward off and combat disease. NDs view the patient as a complex, interrelated system (a whole person), not as a clogged artery or a tumor. Naturopathic physicians craft comprehensive treatment plans that blend the best of modern medical science and traditional natural medical approaches to not only treat disease, but to also restore health.

Naturopathic physicians base their practice on six timeless principles founded on medical tradition and scientific evidence.

The Healing Power of Nature (Vis Medicatrix naturae): Our bodies have an amazing ability to heal itself which is ordered and intelligent. Naturopathic physicians seek to identify and remove obstacles to healing and recovery, and to facilitate and enhance this inherent self-healing process.

Identify and Treat the Causes (Tolle Causam): The naturopathic physician seeks to identify and remove the underlying causes of illness, rather than to merely eliminate or suppress symptoms.  We realize that if the cause isn't removed, the symptoms will return.

First Do No Harm (Primum Non Nocere): Naturopathic physicians follow three guidelines to avoid harming the patient: 

  •  Utilize methods and healing substances which minimize the risk of harmful side effects, using the least force necessary to diagnose and treat;
  • Avoid the harmful suppression of symptoms when possible. 
  • Recognize and respect each person's uniqueness when creating a diagnosis and treatment plan.   

Doctor As Teacher (Docere): Naturopathic physicians believe that patient education is patient EMPOWERMENT!!  Teaching the patient how to eat, exercise, relax, and nurture themselves on each level encourages self-responsibility.

Treat the Whole Person
(Tolle Totum): We  treat each patient by taking into account individual physical, mental, spiritual, emotional, genetic, environmental, social, and other factors since total health includes all these aspects.

Prevention
(Praevenire): Naturopathic physicians emphasize the prevention of disease by assessing risk factors, heredity and susceptibility to disease and making appropriate interventions in partnership with their patients to prevent illness. By being proactive with health a lot of money, pain, misery and lives can be saved.
