What Is Naturopathic Medicine?
Your body contains within it the potential for remarkable healing,
and with the right natural therapies and guidance, you can strengthen and draw from this
source of power for self-healing.
Naturopathic medicine is based on this self-healing ability. Because of this, naturopathic
doctors teach their patients to use diet, exercise, lifestyle changes and cutting edge natural
therapies to enhance their bodies’ ability to prevent and combat disease, as well as blend the
best of modern medical science and traditional natural medical approaches to not only treat
disease, but to also restore health.
At its core, naturopathic medicine is comprised of six timeless principles
founded in medical tradition and scientific evidence.
1. LET NATURE HEAL
Our bodies have such a powerful, innate instinct for self-healing. By finding and removing the
barriers to this self-healing—such as poor diet or unhealthy habits—naturopathic physicians can
nurture this process.
2. IDENTIFY AND TREAT CAUSES
Naturopathic physicians understand that symptoms will only return unless the root illness is
addressed. Rather than cover up symptoms, they seek to find and treat the cause of these
symptoms.
3. DO NO HARM
Naturopathic physicians use low-risk procedures and healing compounds—such as dietary
supplements, herbal extracts and homeopathy—with few or no side effects. They feel that whenever
it’s possible, you should not suppress symptoms as these are the body’s efforts to self-heal.
4. EDUCATE PATIENTS
Naturopathic medicine believes that doctors must be educators, as well as physicians.That is why
naturopathic physicians teach their patients nutrition, relaxation techniques, body physiology
and how to nurture themselves physically and emotionally. They also encourage
self-responsibility and work closely with each patient to achieve their health goals.
5. TREAT THE WHOLE PERSON
We each have a unique physical, mental, emotional, genetic, environmental, social and spiritual
makeup. The naturopathic physician knows that all these factors affect our health and carefully
tailors each treatment strategy around the individual’s unique makeup.
6. PREVENT ILLNESS
Proactive medicine saves money, pain, misery and lives, by supporting a healthy lifestyle. That
is why naturopathic physicians evaluate risk factors, heredity, and vulnerability to disease
when treating each and every patient.
“I have been Dr. Judy’s patient for two years now and I have never
encountered a doctor who takes such a personal and caring approach to treating her patients…!”
