Naturopathic Medicine
The six principles of naturopathic medicine are -
First Do No Harm Core to all medical practice is the desire to help the human form and condition. Naturopathic Doctors typically approach care by utilising the most natural, least invasive and least toxic therapies.
The Healing Power of Nature Naturopathic Doctors recognise the value of our natural world in assisting the healing process. Not only do Naturopathic Doctors utilise substances that originate in nature, but they also incorporate a healthy natural environment as foundational to human health.
Identify and Treat the Causes There is a time and place for symptom suppression - BUT naturopathic patients will benefit most from identifying the underlying causes of illness and removing obstacles to cure.
Doctor as Teacher Naturopathic doctors elevate patient health literacy. Through education and a trust-based relationship, patients better understand the steps they need to take to achieve and maintain health.
Treat the Whole Person Naturopathic doctors understand the interconnectedness of our body, our environment and our lifestyle on total health. It is only through this whole-person-based approach that NDs seek to restore balance and health.
Prevention Naturopathic medicine affirms that it is better to prevent illness and suffering whenever possible. Through their comprehensive practice, NDs combine all six principles in order to identify potential areas of imbalance and teach patients how to get well and stay well.
