Naturopathic Doctors

Naturopathic Doctors practice a form of healing that addresses the whole person- body, mind, emotions and spirit. It is a form of medicine that focuses on engaging the body’s natural ability to heal itself while using natural remedies and therapies to heal from illness and prevent disease. 

Naturopathic Medicine – The Philosophy

Naturopathic doctors work with patients using specific philosophies: 

The Healing Power of Nature

Naturopathic Medicine recognizes there’s an inherent ability of the body to heal itself that is ordered and intelligent. Naturopathic doctors work by identifying and treating the obstacles that keep a person from healing and recovery so that healing is the natural outcome.

Identify and Treat the Cause

Naturopathic Doctors work to find the root cause of an illness or disease to eliminate imbalances in the body and restore the body to health.

First, Do No Harm

Naturopathic doctors aim to do no harm by following these guidelines:

  1. Use the least invasive and most gentle remedies or therapies to diagnose and treat to minimize any harmful side effects.
  2. They do not suppress symptoms. Instead, they encourage the body’s natural healing processes to unfold.
  3. They acknowledge and respect an individual’s process for self-healing.

Doctor as Teacher

Naturopathic doctors teach their patients about healthy living and encourage them to make health promoting decisions in their lifestyle choices. They recognize that educating their patients and keeping positive relationships with them creates a strong doctor-patient relationship of trust where deep healing happens.

Treat the Whole Person

Naturopathic doctors understand we live in a complex world where an individual’s health is not just about physical health but also includes mental, emotional, spiritual, environmental, genetic and social components.

Prevention

Naturopathic doctors focus on prevention of disease by reviewing individual risk factors and suggesting changes that meet patients’ needs.

Naturopathic Medicine – The Tools

All of the tools of the Vitalistic Naturopathic Medicine are used to restore the body to health and never to suppress the symptoms of illness. Symptoms of illness are simply a sign that balance within the body has been disrupted and something is wrong. They are understood by the vitalistic doctor to be the outward signs of the body attempting to restore itself to health. By aiding a person in the restoration of balance, and therefore health, the body no longer expresses symptoms of illness. In other words, a Vitalistic Naturopathic Doctor seeks to discover the root cause of illness in a person and, by treating them individually, can help restore their health.
