What is Naturopathic Medicine?
Naturopathic physicians are trained to serve as primary care practitioners who are experts in the prevention, diagnosis, management, and treatment of both acute and chronic health conditions.
The ultimate goal of naturopathy is prevention. This is accomplished through education and promotion of life-habits that create good health. The Physician assesses risk factors and genetic 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.
Illness does not occur without cause. Underlying causes of disease must be discovered and removed or treated before a person can recover completely from illness. Symptoms are expressions of the body’s attempt to heal, but they are not the cause of disease. Symptoms, therefore, should not be suppressed by treatment. Causes may occur on many levels including physical, mental, emotional, and spiritual. The naturopathic physician evaluates the patient’s case on all levels and directs treatment at root causes rather than at symptomatic expression.
Naturopathic Medical Philosophy
Treat the Whole Person. Health or disease comes from a complex interaction of physical, emotional, dietary, genetic, environmental, lifestyle and other factors. Naturopathic Physicians treat the whole person, taking these factors into account.
The Healing Power of Nature. Nature acts powerfully through healing mechanisms in the body and mind to maintain and restore health. Naturopathic Medicine restores and supports these inherent healing systems when they have broken down.
First, Do No Harm. Naturopathic Physicians prefer noninvasive treatments that minimize the risk of harmful side effects.
Find the Cause. Every illness has an underlying cause. Naturopathic Physicians try to identify and remove the underlying causes of disease instead of only suppressing the symptoms.
Preventive Medicine. The natural approach to health care can prevent minor illness from developing into more serious or chronic degenerative diseases. Patients are taught the principles with which to live a healthy life. By following these principles they can prevent major illness.
