6 Principles Of Naturopathic Medicine
FIRST, DO NO HARM
The goal is to always use the least invasive and
least forceful measures to improve health.
Always starting with the most gentle treatments
to restore health and balance.
IDENTIFY AND TREAT THE CAUSE
Symptoms help communicate to us what is really going on
within our bodies.Our goal is to find the root cause and treat that,
rather than treating symptoms. This will allow us to restore health
rather than suppress disease.
TREAT THE WHOLE PERSON
We are not individual systems. We are whole, complex human
beings. Our physical, emotional, mental, and spiritual states
constitute our overall health. I view my patient’s as unique people,
and create treatment plans in order for your body to heal
on all of these levels of health.
THE HEALING POWER OF NATURE
Nature is powerful. Our bodies are powerful. Working
in a symbiotic relationship with nature is the
best way to heal.
DOCTOR AS TEACHER
The goal is to help connect patients with the innate wisdom
of their bodies. Educating patient’s about their health
creates empowerment.
PREVENTION
Many health concerns are preventable. The goal is to create a
state of health in our every day lives throughout
the many stages of our lives.
