Naturopathic Medicine is a primary health care profession that promotes health, prevents disease and helps to restore health using natural therapies which support the body’s own natural healing processes. The profession is based on the following important principles:
- Treat the whole person ( body, ,mind and spirit)
- First do no harm
- The healing power of nature
- Identify and treat the cause
- Doctor as teacher
- Prevention is the best cure
Since Naturopathic Medicine uses non-toxic, non-invasive methods it has an excellent safety record. Naturopaths are trained to recognize conditions that are outside their scope of practice and to refer to other practitioners when appropriate. |
