Naturopathic Philosophy

Guiding principles and values of naturopathic medicine

Naturopathic Medicine views health as the totality of physical, mental, emotional and spiritual well-being.

Naturopathic Medicine

Naturopathic Medicine is a system of healthcare that takes a holistic and natural approach to assessment, diagnosis and treatment of an individual, with emphasis on prevention and health maintenance.

It employs a combination of several different disciplines of natural healing – including Diet & Nutrition, Herbal Medicine, Acupuncture & Traditional Chinese Medicine and Lifestyle Counseling – selected to coincide with the patient’s individual constitution.

Naturopathic Medicine emphasizes treating the cause of the illness rather than just the symptoms. With this focus, symptoms are not simply suppressed; instead, their origin is determined and treated. This initiates a path to long-term improvement of health and well-being.

The principles of Naturopathic Medicine are:

First, do no harm.
Act in co-operation with the healing power of nature.
Address the fundamental causes of disease.
Heal the whole person through individualized treatment.
Teach the principles of healthy living and preventive medicine.
