It is more important to know what person has the disease than which disease the person has – William Osler Founding professor of Johns Hopkins Hospital

About Naturopathic Medicine

Naturopathic medicine is a distinct health care profession, emphasizing prevention, treatment, and optimal health through the use of therapeutic methods and substances that encourage individuals’ inherent self-healing process. The practice of naturopathic medicine includes modern and traditional, scientific, and empirical methods. The combination of Naturopathic and Conventional Medicine is known as Integrative Medicine.

THE 6 PRINCIPLES OF NATUROPATHIC MEDICINE

Vis Medicatrix Naturae

(The healing power of nature)

Trust in the body’s inherent wisdom to heal itself.

Docere

(Doctor as teacher)

Educate patients in the steps to achieving and maintaining health.

Tolle Causam.

(Identify and treat the causes)

Look beyond the symptoms to the underlying cause. The naturopathic physician seeks to identify and remove the underlying causes of illness rather than to merely eliminate or suppress symptoms.
