More about Naturopathic Medicine

Naturopathic medicine is a multifaceted, non-invasive approach to health-care that uses natural therapies to stimulate and support the body to heal itself. Naturopathic Doctors provide primary care or complementary care, depending on their patients’ preferences.

There are 6 guiding principles in Naturopathic Medicine:

1. First, do no harm.
2. Identify and treat the underlying root-cause of disease.
3. Treat the whole person through individualized care.
4. Trust the healing power of nature.
5. Teach as well as treat.
6. Focus on preventing disease.
