What is Naturopathic Medicine?

Naturopathic Medicine is a specific system of primary health care that utilizes therapeutic methods and substances that encourage an individual's inherent self-healing process. Naturopathic Doctors emphasize the prevention of disease and helping patients achieve optimal health. Along with a focus on prevention, Naturopathic Doctors address current acute or chronic health conditions by focusing on finding the underlying cause of the disease and illness, rather than simply focusing on alleviating symptoms.

By using conventional laboratory testing and patient-centered communication, doctors are able to treat the body as a whole. Naturopathic Doctors employ therapeutic treatments that are supported by scientific research studies. Research is drawn from peer-reviewed journals in diverse areas of discipline. These areas include but are not limited to naturopathic medicine, complementary and alternative medicine (CAM), conventional medicine, clinical nutrition, pharmacognosy, and psychology.

What are the principles of Naturopathic Medicine?

The Healing Power of Nature (Vis Medicatrix Naturae): Naturopathic Medicine recognizes an inherent self-healing process in people that is ordered and intelligent. Naturopathic physicians act to identify and remove obstacles to healing and recovery and to facilitate and augment 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.

First Do No Harm (Primum Non Nocere): Naturopathic physicians follow three guidelines to avoid harming the patient: utilize methods and medicinal substances which minimize the risk of harmful side effects, using the least force necessary to diagnose and treat; avoid when possible the harmful suppression of symptoms; and acknowledge, respect, and work with individuals self-healing process.

Doctor as Teacher (Docere): Naturopathic physicians educate their patients and encourage self-responsibility for health. They also recognize and employ the therapeutic potential of the doctor-patient relationship.

Treat the Whole Person: Naturopathic physicians treat each patient by taking into account individual physical, mental, emotional, genetic, environmental, social, and other factors. Since total health also includes spiritual health, naturopathic physicians encourage individuals to pursue their personal spiritual development.

Prevention: Naturopathic physicians emphasize the prevention of disease by assessing risk factors, heredity, and susceptibility to disease, and by making appropriate interventions in partnership with their patients to prevent illness.
