Naturopathic Medicine is the art and science of diagnosis, treatment, and prevention of disease using natural therapies with a focus on optimizing health and well-being through individualized patient care and public education.

Principles of Naturopathic Medicine

1. Primum non nocere – do no harm, effective health care with the least risk for all patients.
2. Vis medicatrix naturae – healing power of nature, respect and promote self-healing.
3. Tolle causum – treat the cause, identify and remove causes, avoid suppression of symptoms.
4. Docere – doctor as teacher, educate patients, inspire rational hope, encourage self-responsibility.
5. Treat the whole person – each person is unique with their own factors affecting their health.
6. Health promotion is the best prevention – well-being includes health individually, in the community and globally
