Naturopathic Medicine
“It is more important to know what sort of person has a disease than to know what sort of disease a person has.”
Hippocrates
What is Naturopathic Medicine?
At the core of naturopathic philosophy is the belief that human beings have an innate ability to heal, provided that the obstacles to cure are identified and removed. Our objective is to support those we work with in identifying unique obstacles to good health to take action to restore balance and wellness.
There are six principles that serve as the foundation of naturopathic medicine:
First Do No Harm – primum non-nocere
The Healing Power of Nature – vis medicatrix naturae
Discover and Treat the Cause of Disease – tolle causam
Treat the Whole Person – tolle totum
Doctor as Teacher – docere
Prevention is the best “cure”
