What Is Naturopathic Medicine?
Naturopathic medicine is a unique form of healthcare with six guiding principles:
Identify and Treat the Causes – Tolle Causam: Identify and treat the underlying cause of illness rather than simply treating or suppressing the symptoms.
Treat the Whole Person – Tolle Totum: Consider all influences of health for each individual including genetic, environmental, and mind, body, and spirit.
The Healing Power of Nature – Vis Medicatrix Naturae: Recognize, respect, and support the body’s inherent ability to heal itself.
Do No Harm – Primum Non Nocere: Provide the most natural and effective therapies with the least amount of risk, side effects, and toxicity.
Doctor as Teacher – Docere: Educate patients while inspiring and encouraging personal responsibility for health.
Health Promotion, the Best Prevention – Praevenic: Promote health to prevent disease; address risk factors, hereditary susceptibility to disease and make appropriate interventions to prevent illness.
