How does Naturopathic Medicine work?

The healing power of nature
Naturopathic physicians seek to find and remove obstacles to healing, and to facilitate recovery and revitalization.

Treating the causes of illness
Rather than suppressing symptoms.

Emphasizing prevention
Identifying stressors and risk factors as well as heredity and disease susceptibility, to aid in avoiding future illness.

Taking care to “First Do No Harm”
Using the least force necessary to diagnose and treat; methods and substances with the least risk of harmful side effects; avoiding, when possible, the suppression of symptoms; and respecting the individual’s healing process.

Treating the whole person
Taking into account individual physical, mental, emotional, spiritual, social, genetic and environmental factors.
