THE PRINCIPLES OF NATUROPATHIC MEDICINE:

THE HEALING POWER OF NATURE.   

The body has the inherent ability to establish, maintain, and restore health.  The physician's role is to facilitate the healing process, to identify and remove obstacles to health and recovery, and to support the creation of a healthy internal and external environment.

IDENTIFY AND TREAT THE CAUSE.  

The true cause of illness must be discovered and removed or treated before a person can recover completely from any illness. True healing comes not from suppression of symptoms but by addressing underlying causes on all levels including physical, mental, emotional, and spiritual.
 

FIRST DO NO HARM.  

Methods of treatments are chosen to work with the patient's vital force, respecting the intelligence of the natural healing process.

TREAT THE WHOLE PERSON.

Naturopathic Medicine is a distinctively natural approach to health and healing that recognizes the integrity of the whole person.

THE PHYSICIAN AS TEACHER.  

The physician's major role is to educate and encourage the patient to take responsibility for health. The physician is a catalyst for healthful change, empowering and motivating the patient to assume responsibility. It is the patient, not the doctor, who ultimately accomplishes healing.

PREVENTION.

The ultimate goal of any health care system should be prevention. This is accomplished through education and promotion of life-habits that create good health.
