Naturopathic medicine is a holistic approach to healthcare that focuses on the body's ability to heal itself. It combines traditional healing practices with modern scientific knowledge to address the root cause of health issues, rather than just treating the symptoms. Naturopathic doctors (ND/NMD) aim to support and stimulate the body's natural healing processes using a variety of natural therapies.

There are seven principles that govern the foundation of naturopathic medicine:

  • The Healing Power of Nature: Recognizing the body's innate ability to heal itself and supporting this natural healing process.

  • Identify and Treat the Causes: Focusing on the root causes of health issues rather than just treating symptoms.

  • First, Do No Harm: Prioritizing safe, non-invasive treatments with minimal side effects.

  • Doctor as Teacher: Educating and empowering patients to take an active role in their health and well-being.

  • Treat the Whole Person: Addressing the physical, mental, emotional, and spiritual aspects of an individual for comprehensive care.

  • Prevention: Emphasizing preventive measures to promote long-term health and avoid illness.

  • Wellness Promotion: Encouraging practices that foster overall well-being and vitality.
