Naturopathic Medicine
The practice of Naturopathy emerges from six underlying principles of healing. These principles are based on the objective observation of the nature of health and disease, and are continually reexamined in light of scientific analysis. For the naturopathic physician, abiding by these principles forms the basis of ail treatment.
First Do No Harm
prenum no nocere
Illness is a purposeful process of the organism. The process of healing often includes the generation of symptoms which are, in fact, an expression of the body attempting to heal itself

Next we examine your symptoms
The body has the inherent ability to establish, maintain and restore health. The healing process is ordered and intelligent. The physician's role is to facilitate and augment this process, to act, to identify and remove obstacles to health and recovery, and to support the creation of a healthy internal and external environment.
Identify and Treat the Cause
tolle causam illness
Illness does not occur without cause. Underlining causes of disease must be discovered and removed or treated before a person can recover completely form illness. Symptoms are expressions of the body's attempt to heal, but are not the cause of disease. Symptoms, therefore should not be suppressed by treatment.
We conduct a variety of tests before we diagnose
The Physician As Teacher
docere e
We take the time to educate every Patient about their symptoms
Beyond an accurate diagnosis and appropriate prescription, the physician must work to create a healthy, sensitive personal relationship with the patient. A cooperative doctor-patient relationship has inherent therapeutic value. The physicians major role is to educate and encourage the patient to take responsibility for health
Treat the Whole Person
the multifactoral nature of health and disease
Health and disease are conditions of the whole organism, a whole involving a complex interaction of physical, spiritual, mental, emotional, social, and other factors. The physician must treat the whole person by taking all of these factors into account.
Then We Diagnose and Treat
Prevention
prevention is the best cure
A Healthy Lifestyle is Key to Maintain Optimal Health
The ultimate goal of any health care system should be prevention. This is accomplished through education and promotion of life-habits that create good health. The physician assesses risk factors and hereditary susceptibility to disease and makes appropriate interventions to avoid further harm and risk to the patient. The emphasis is on building health rather than fighting disease
