The Healing Power of Nature: We recognize an inherent self-healing process in an individual. Naturopathic physicians work to facilitate and maximize this inherent healing ability.
Identify and Treat the Cause: We strive to identify and remove any obstacles to healing and remove any causes of harm instead of merely suppressing symptoms of disease.
First Do No Harm: We begin with the least invasive and least harmful of treatments to gently stimulate healing.
Doctor as Teacher: We spend time with patients allowing them to understand the disease and healing process and how to become responsible for their own health.
Treat the Whole Person: Instead of piecing apart one's illness by symptoms, we put the whole picture together and find a treatment plan for the whole person.
Prevention: We assess risk factors, susceptibility of disease, and make appropriate suggestions regarding lifestyle changes that can promote health and prevent disease. This is truly the cornerstone of naturopathic medicine.
