Naturopathic Principles

The naturopathic principles are used worldwide by naturopathic doctors to provide the best quality of care for patients. Utilizing the lowest force interventions FIRST to address symptoms and disease.

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.
