WHAT IS NATUROPATHIC MEDICINE?

Naturopathic medicine is a holistic approach to health that blends modern science with natural therapies. It focuses on identifying the underlying causes of symptoms rather than only treating the surface.

At its core, naturopathic medicine is guided by six principles:

  1. First, Do No Harm – choosing the most gentle, effective options.

  2. The Healing Power of Nature – supporting the body’s innate ability to restore health.

  3. Identify & Treat the Root Cause – going beyond symptom management.

  4. Doctor as Teacher – empowering patients through education and partnership.

  5. Treat the Whole Person – addressing body, mind, and lifestyle.

  6. Prevention – helping you stay well and avoid future illness.

Naturopathic doctors are trained in a wide range of therapies that can be combined or tailored to each patient’s needs. These may include:

  • Lifestyle Counseling – supporting stress management, sleep, movement, and daily habits

  • Botanical Medicine – plant-based therapies supported by tradition and research

  • Mind-Body Medicine – supporting emotional well-being as part of whole-person care
