What is Naturopathic Medicine?
Naturopathic medicine uses therapies that are safe and effective.
The human body possesses the inherent ability to restore health. The physician's role is to facilitate this process with the aid of
natural, nontoxic therapies.
Physicians seek and treat the underlying cause of a disease. Symptoms are viewed as expressions of the body's natural attempt to
heal. The origin of disease is removed or treated so the patient can recover.
The multiple factors in health and disease are considered while treating the whole person. Physicians provide flexible treatment
programs to meet individual health care needs.
The physician's major role is to educate, empower, and motivate patients to take responsibility for their own health. Creating a
healthy cooperative relationship with the patient has a strong therapeutic value.
Naturopathic physicians are preventive medicine experts. Physicians assess patient risk factors and heredity susceptibility and
intervene appropriately to reduce risk and prevent illness. Prevention of disease is best accomplished through education and a
lifestyle that supports health.
