Principles Of Naturopathic Medicine - Health Momentum

Naturopathic medicine blends modern scientific knowledge with traditional and natural forms of medicine. Holistic healthcare is based on a doctor-patient partnership in which natural therapies are used to stimulate the body’s innate healing abilities.

Principles of Naturopathic Medicine

Naturopathic doctors are guided by six fundamental healing principles:

 

  1. First, to do no harm, by using methods and medicines that minimize the risk of harmful side effects.
  2. To treat the causes of disease, by identifying and removing the underlying causes of illness, rather than suppressing symptoms.
  3. To teach the principles of healthy living and preventative medicine, by sharing knowledge with patients and encouraging individual responsibility for health.

4. To heal the whole person through individualized treatment, by understanding the unique physical, mental, emotional, genetic, environmental and social factors that contribute to illness, and customizing treatment protocols to the patient.

5. To emphasize prevention, by partnering with the patient to assess risk factors and recommend appropriate naturopathic interventions to maintain health and prevent illness.

6. To support the healing power of the body, by recognizing and removing obstacles to the body’s inherent self-healing process.
