Naturopathic Medicine is a distinctively natural approach to health and healing that recognizes the wisdom of the natural healing process. By emphasizing the treatment of disease through the stimulation, enhancement, and support of the inherent healing capacity of the person, Naturopathic Medicine achieves a deeper level of healing. Naturopathic Physicians are trained to serve as primary care general practitioners who are experts in the prevention, diagnosis, management, and treatment of both acute and chronic health conditions.

The six principles of Naturopathic Medicine are:

• The healing power of nature
• Identify and treat the cause
• First do no harm
• Treat the whole person
• The physician as teacher
• Prevention

Through the use of nutrition, botanical medicine, physical medicine, vitamin and mineral supplementation, intravenous therapy and lifestyle counseling Naturopathic Medicine aims to heal the whole person, not to simply suppress symptoms.
