Naturopathic Medicine
Naturopathic doctors are primary health care professionals who are dedicated to helping you achieve your optimal health.
Naturopathic medicine is a distinct system of primary health care that uses natural and non-invasive therapies to promote the body’s ability to heal itself on all levels. The most important goals of naturopathic medicine are to discover and treat the root causes of disease, to promote optimal health and to prevent illness.
The strength and uniqueness of naturopathic medicine is founded on six principles:
- Support the healing power of nature: The body has an incredible ability to heal itself when the obstacles to cure are removed and the optimal healing environment is provided.
- Identify and treat the causes: In order to produce long-term healing, it’s better to diagnose and remove the underlying causes of illness than to temporarily treat the symptoms of disease.
- First, do no harm: Safe, effective natural medicines are used that have a minimal risk of harmful side effects.
- Treat the whole person: Naturopathic doctors assess all of the physical, mental, emotional and environmental factors that are contributing to the current state of health.
- Emphasize prevention: Future illnesses can be prevented by carefully assessing current risk factors and making appropriate changes.
- Doctor as Teacher: Naturopathic doctors openly share knowledge with their patients and encourage active participation in achieving optimal health goals.
