Naturopathic Principles

The naturopathic principles are used worldwide for naturopathic doctors to provide the best quality of care for patients.

Six Naturopathic Principles

  • First Do No Harm

    The basis of naturopathic medicine is to use the least invasive, most beneficial and safest treatment patients.

  • The Healing Power of Nature

    The roots of our medicine utilize elements from nature to stimulate the body’s inherent wisdom to heal itself.

  • Identify and Treat the Causes

    We avoid simply placing band-aids over symptoms. We find out why the symptoms are presenting and treat the root of the problem in order to prevent reoccurrence and/or new symptoms.

  • Doctor as Teacher

    The most important principle (in my opinion). Educating the patient on their health and treatment options in a way they can understand.

  • Treat the Whole Person

    We not only look at the presenting symptoms, but assess all aspects of a person’s life. This includes, but not limited to, environment, diet, relationships, spirituality and mental health.

  • Prevention

    Preventing disease is just as important as preventing disease. We want patients to take control of their health and maintain it.
