First Do No Harm
Naturopathic physicians are trained to address pain or illness with natural methods like herbs, nutritional supplementation, and homeopathy. This is because with wise use, these natural methods administer healing benefits while gently working with the body's natural healing wisdom.
Treat the Whole Person
A tremendous strength in Naturopathic philosophy is the recognition that the body’s systems work in cooperation with one another. When one body system is impacted and causing symptoms, Naturopaths work to correct this. To further support that system’s recuperative progress, Naturopaths meanwhile attend to the whole person’s overall health.
Treat the Cause
Pain-free, healthful, productive life is your natural state of being. The Naturopath therefore looks at symptoms such as pain or illness as being caused by something inside - or outside - the body. Naturopaths seek the underlying cause and work to treat it. The result is that symptoms can disappear…naturally!
Nature is the True Healer
Like a cut that heals itself, the entire body knows how to make itself healthy. If there has been long term pain or illness, Naturopaths understand that something is preventing the body from healing itself. Through careful examination and medical reasoning, the Naturopath helps to find and remove obstacles to the natural process of healing.
The Doctor is the Teacher
Naturopaths know that “Doctor” means “Teacher,” and strive as diligently to teach wellness as to treat illness. Unlike conventional physicians who may prefer to present themselves as authority figures to their patients, Naturopaths are trained to work as expert consult. The Naturopathic physician works for you.
Prevention is the Goal
According to age-old wisdom, an ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure. Naturopaths are uniquely trained to seek out early signs that health could become compromised in the future, and to correct these signs. Following the principle of prevention means that pain and illness can be avoided while health, wellness, and longevity are enjoyed!
