What is Naturopathic Medicine?
Naturopathic Medicine is a system of medicine that blends modern science with the wisdom of ancient healing, and is based in the principle that the body has the inherent ability to heal itself. Naturopathic doctors strive to find and then remove the root cause of disease, allowing the body’s inherent self-healing to occur. Naturopathic medicine views health as a union of balanced body, mind, and spirit.
Naturopathic Doctors are trained in:
- Diet & Nutrition
- Botanical Medicine
- Chinese Medicine and Acupuncture
- Homeopathy
- Lifestyle Counseling
Principles of Naturopathic Medicine:
- First, to do no harm
- To co-operate with the healing powers of nature
