Medicine uses nature in combination with rigorous scientific methods to
facilitate the body's natural healing process. There are six principals
that guide the therapeutic methods and modalities of Naturopathic
Medicine:
- First, do no harm: Naturopathic Medicine uses therapies that are safe and effective
- The Healing Power of Nature: The body has an inherent ability to heal itself, and physician's role is to facilitate this natural healing process.
- Discover and Treat the Cause: Physicians
look for the underlying cause of illness, rather than giving treatments
to suppress symptoms. Sypmtoms are viewed as the body's attempt to heal
itself.
- Treat the Whole Person: The
whole person- mind, body, and spirit must be considered when looking
for the cause of disease. The totality of symptoms are addressed,
rather than isolating symptoms to a particular organ system. Treating
the whole person allows individualized health care
- The Physician is a Teacher: The physician's most important role is to educate and empower the patient to take responsibility for their own health
- Prevention in the Best "Cure":
Prevention is best accomplished through education and lifestyle
changes. Naturopathic physicians are uniquely qualified to look at all
risk factors for the individual and customize a plan for disease
prevention.
