Naturopathic Medicine

WHAT IS NATUROPATHIC MEDICINE?

image1

Naturopathic Medicine is a unique and comprehensive approach to improving health and treating illness.  Naturopathic Doctors (NDs) support and stimulate the body’s ability to heal itself, focusing on prevention and using natural substances and treatments.  The primary goal of naturopathic treatment is to address the underlying cause of illness, rather than simply treating or suppressing symptoms.  NDs provide primary health care services, diagnose and treat a variety of acute and chronic illnesses, and practice disease prevention by educating and empowering patients to become active participants in their own healthcare.
 

HOW IS NATUROPATHIC MEDICINE DIFFERENT?

IDENTIFY & TREAT THE CAUSE

In addition to alleviating acute and chronic symptoms, NDs seek to identify and remove underlying causes of illness.  This approach moves the body toward maintaining an optimal state of health.

DOCTOR AS TEACHER

NDs work collaboratively with patients by sharing knowledge and information to support the patient in achieving their health goals.  Patients are encouraged to take responsibility for their own health.

TREAT THE WHOLE PERSON

NDs look at the ‘whole picture’.  This means that in addition to treating the primary concern, NDs also examine the physical, mental, emotional, genetic, environmental and social factors contributing to one’s health.

EMPHASIZE PREVENTION

NDs emphasize disease prevention by assessing individual risk factors, heredity, and susceptibility to disease.  Appropriate interventions are then utilized to promote health and to prevent disease.

SUPPORT THE HEALING POWER OF NATURE

Naturopathic medicine recognizes an ordered and intelligent self-healing process that is inherent to every individual.  NDs work to remove obstacles to healing and facilitate recovery by supporting this natural self-healing process.
