PHILOSOPHY OF NATUROPATHIC
MEDICINE
 |
THE HEALING POWER OF
NATURE Naturopaths believe there is an inherent
capacity within every living body to repair and heal itself.
Infective agents, injury, environmental toxins, stress and
lifestyle choices may at times interfere with this innate ability.
Naturopaths seek to remove obstacles to the repair / healing
mechanism, and to stimulate, strengthen and augment its activity.
The body knows what to do, but at times it may need to be reminded
and enabled. |
INDIVIDUALIZED
TREATMENT Treatment is tailored to each patient after
assessing the individual's physical, mental, emotional, genetic,
environmental, social, and other factors; and how such
factors may be impacting upon the patient and his or her
presenting conditions at that time. |
 |
INTERACTION OF MIND, BODY,
AND SPIRIT Naturopathic medicine believes the mind,
body, and spirit are closely related, and that illness or
dysfunction in one of these aspects of self will impact upon the
health of the other two. |
