What Is Naturopathic Medicine?

Naturopathic Medicine, much like Functional Medicine, focuses on getting to the root cause of an individual’s concern and emphasizes prevention and the self-healing process through the use of natural therapies and healthy living.

Like peeling the layers of an onion back, naturopathic medicine focuses on identifying the underlying causes of disease and uses evidence-based naturopathic therapies including clinical nutrition, lifestyle education, botanical medicine, IV therapy, and supplementation to address the cause with the goal of having a lasting benefit beyond symptom suppression.

Those that have struggled to get answers with the Western medical model in understanding the underlying causes of their health concerns

The Six Naturopathic Principles

The underpinnings of naturopathic medical practice are found in the following six principles:

The Healing Power of Nature

Naturopathic medicine recognizes the body’s inherent ability to heal itself. Naturopathic physicians identify and remove obstacles to recovery to facilitate this healing ability in patients.

Identify and Treat the Causes

The naturopathic physician seeks to identify and remove the underlying causes of illness, rather than eliminate or merely suppress symptoms.

First Do No Harm

Three principles to avoid harming the patient; use methods and medicinal substances which minimize the risk of harmful side effects. Avoid, when possible, the harmful suppression of symptoms. Acknowledge and respect the individual’s healing process, using the least force necessary to diagnose and treat illness.

Doctor as Teacher

Naturopathic physicians educate the patient and encourage self-responsibility for health. They also acknowledge the therapeutic value inherent in the doctor-patient relationship.

Treat the Whole Person

Naturopathic physicians treat each individual by taking into account physical, mental, emotional, genetic, environmental and social factors. Since total health also includes spiritual health, naturopathic physicians encourage individuals to pursue their personal spiritual path.

Prevention

Naturopathic physicians emphasize disease prevention, assessment of risk factors and hereditary susceptibility to disease and making appropriate interventions to prevent illness. Naturopathic medicine strives to create a healthy world in which humanity may thrive.

Key principles of naturopathic medicine include disease prevention, finding the root cause of disease, educating the patient, treating the whole person, doing no harm, and providing the body with what it needs to heal!
